Sleigher is the sixth studio album and the first Christmas album by American singer-songwriter Ben Folds, released on October 25, 2024.[1] It was announced on September 25, 2024, along with the release of two songs from the album, "The Christmas Song", and "We Could Have This" featuring Lindsey Kraft.[2]
In an interview with Variety, Folds stated that his initial intent making the album was to be a little lazier, and do more covers, before becoming inspired to write songs for the album. He stated: "It's fun to write something almost to an assignment, and that's kind of what this was, I always kind of like something that'll just make me write. I had felt like I might be a really good curator of just really neat Christmas songs somehow, but that was a little ignorant: I was surprised not to be able to find as many covers as I thought."[1]
