  • Donnacha Costello has announced details for 12 Days (of Christmas), a limited edition digital album that will be released track-by-track over 12 days. The project has some things in common with the Unheard Ambient and Guitar Works EP, which Costello promised to release only if he received enough pre-orders within a 28-day period (in the end, the orders were reimbursed). No such condition exists with 12 Days (of Christmas), though orders will be accepted for a limited time (through Tuesday, December 13th), and just like Unheard Ambient and Guitar Works, the selections draw from the "ambient/guitar" side of his oeuvre (some recent, some "archived"). Taken together, the 12 tracks form Costello's first ambient album since his 2001 classic Together Is the New Alone. Participants pay for all 12 tracks up-front, then receive a download link for one track every day from December 25th. Part of the proceeds will go to an unnamed charity to help families with their Christmas expenses. Orders can be placed on Look Long's official website.
