Sufjan Stevens Unveils New Yule Log Video

Soundtracked by his many festive jewels...

Sufjan Stevens has shared his new Yule log video.

The songwriter has developed a long tradition of Christmas songs, blending his faith with a desire to entertain. The kind of in-depth musicality that can be enjoyed all year round, Sufjan’s festive work has a devoted cult following all of its own.

It’s with no small measure of Advent glee, then, that was share his new Yule log video, four and a half hours of slowly burning wooden logs soundtracked by his festive odes. Brian Paccione is responsible for directing, while the music – naturally enough – is drawn from Sufjan’s own catalogue.

Shared through his imprint Asthmatic Kitty, the label writes: “This video is ideal for your favourite holiday activities: decorating the tree, baking, making calls to loved ones, or enjoying hot cocoa…”
