about

A split release between Silber Records and Orphanology

from the Silber press release:
"Mkl Anderson has been involved with Silber pretty much from the beginning. His Bluesanct label acted as an older brother sounding board for questions in the early days about everything from who to trust for distribution to what DPI to use for laser printed short runs on our first Christmas compilation Silber Xmas 2000 (which his band Drekka appears on). We’re always pleased to get to work with him & were super happy he was able to squeeze a Christmas EP in for our series despite a busy schedule.

While visiting Iceland on the 'Don't Make The Drugs' tour in fall of 2014, Drekka was asked to record a Christmas EP for Silber. Mkl Anderson, Sarah Dunevant, and Þórir Georg spent an evening at Ronja Records HQ improvising winter dreams of Christmas for the label's namesake cat, Ronja. Upon returning home from tour, Anderson mixed this dream session... adding a few field recordings from around Iceland and one short excerpt from Drekka's 'Twelve Tone Failures' installation in Reyjkavik."


Released in an edition of 25, the first thirteen copies are available for sale, each w/ a unique hand-painted mini-portrait of one of the thirteen Yule Lads (Jólasveinarnir) of Icelandic lore painted by Sarah Dunevant.

Sons of the troll witch Grýla, the Jólasveinarnir would trek from the mountains to scare Icelandic children who misbehaved before Christmas. The Yule Lads are often depicted with the Jólakötturinn, a cat beast that eats children who don't receive new clothes for Christmas.
