Product Details

Product Description

AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON VINYL!

25-plus years and thousands of fan requests later, Over the Rhine’s Christmas classic, The Darkest Night of the Year, finally gets the vinyl treatment it has long deserved.

The Darkest Night of the Year is Over the Rhine’s first holiday release and quietly helped re-define the genre for many listeners. It belongs squarely in the “Now-for-something-a-little-different” file. The album includes dark, ambient arrangements of classic carols as well as strange and wonderful originals.

We are told that in-store holiday airplay always generates keen interest for this after-midnight, deeply layered record. The very first national review the album received began with this opening salvo:

“Take a deep breath. Relax. Over the Rhine’s The Darkest Night of the Year is the Christmas disc of the year and destined to become a classic. Curl up with someone you love, or enjoy some quiet time alone, The Darkest Night of the Year is the perfect soundtrack…”

Reviews for Over the Rhine’s visionary Christmas music have continued to pour in over the years, with coverage in The New York Times, NPR’s Morning Edition, USA Today, Paste, No Depression, and many others.

TOURING: Over the Rhine will be supporting the vinyl release of The Darkest Night of the Year with 2023 Christmas concerts currently booked in Chicago, Boston, DC, Philadelphia, Cincinnati (three shows), Ann Arbor, Pittsburgh, Grand Rapids, and Kent, Ohio.
