Silber Records sends holiday greetings

Today we have a great holiday special, an unusual compilation of music from Raleigh's Silber Records. Steve of Subscape Annex fills us in on the details.

Steve: My friend Brian who runs Silber asked me to contribute to this year's instance of his biennial seasonal music compilation. "The 2008 installment of our Christmas compilation series features 26 tracks of Norwegian folk, indie ambient, shoegaze, aggressive ambient, & electroacoustics. Strangely enough there seem to be somewhere around zero covers of traditional Christmas tunes this time out." The entire album is available for free download on archive.org.
