Claude says:Sufjan's Christmas Vol. V is a chamber-pop dissection of the holiday itself—carols rebuilt with his signature restless arrangements and a wistfulness that makes "Lo! How a Rose E'er Blooming" feel genuinely mournful. You cycled through it in the late aughts, those December stretches when a lo-fi reinterpretation of "Get Behind Me, Santa!" hit differently than the standard version.
