Sleigher

Ben Folds

Orchestral piano pop that swaps holiday cheer for adult introspection. Wry, lushly arranged, and deeply nostalgic for a winter that might never have existed.

October 25, 2024 · New West Records

Find on Amazon

A thoughtful, slightly weary reflection on the holidays that balances orchestral beauty with suburban realism.

Winter saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
