BIRDCLOUD - Cool Christmas / Silent Night 7"

Yes, it's not a bargain, 14 Euros for a single containing two songs, one of them is a cover version... BUT it is totally worth it! Fantastic Packaging, great pressing, outstanding band!

On September 30th, 2016, Birdcloud released their double-LP Singles Only. A twenty-eight track compilation that brought together every single song that the satirical country duo had released upon the world from all their prior releases. Singles Only serves as a Best Of and the authoritative tome of Birdcloud songs. Except, one very important song was missing. "Cool Christmas" is the most fully produced track by the normally acoustic pair and an absolute gem in their body of work. To properly commemorate the track, and to fix this historical oversight, we've put together an extremely special 7". First, we sourced the original session files from producer Jordan Lehning. While digging through some ancient hard drive backups, we also found recordings of a never-before-released rendition of "Silent Night." Engineering wizard Patrick Damphier remastered both tracks for optimal sonic fidelity. Next, the packaging came together as the most extravagant affair. The jacket is printed on special hologram paper, giving it an iridescent that only the holidays could bring you. The record itself is a honey baked ham picture disc. A finer creation, there is not.
