Correcting History’s Greatest Mistake

In the fall of 2016, a grave mistake was made. A mistake so grotesque that the world has not yet recovered from the repercussions of its impact. A mistake that must be corrected… starting now.

You see, 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. It has a video that doesn’t feature either Makenzie Green or Jasmin Kaset. It has drums. It has deep bass. It has addictive lyrics and an unbelievably charming, occasionally unhinged, performance. The title would go on to be the name of the reoccurring live holiday extravaganza and is, inarguably, completely unforgettable start to finish.

To properly commemorate the track, and to fix this historical oversight, we’ve put together an extremely special 7″ that is available for preorder now.

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.

This beast is in production now and has been an absolute pleasure to bring together. Finally, peace can come to the tumultuous waves of history.

*Note that “Wild Turkey 101” / “Fiasco” is also not included on Singles Only but was released afterwards, so it was not a part of history’s greatest mistake.
