Sixpence None The Richer have reunited after parting ways four years ago to record their first Christmas album.
'The Dawn Of Grace' is due out in the US on October 14 and features 10 tracks including traditional Christmas tunes and two original holiday tracks.
�??Sixpence fans have been asking for a Christmas album for as long as I can remember," said singer Leigh Nash in a statement. "It was something we always wanted to do, but somehow time got away from us. Now that we are back together, we thought a Christmas album would be a nice gift for our long-time supporters."
The band will play the US and European summer festival circuit before returning to the studio to work on an original full-length album.
Guitarist/songwriter Matt Slocum explained their decision to get back together. �??Leigh and I had been making music together since we were teenagers. As we approached our 30s, there was a bit of restlessness to explore other things, but in the midst of this exploration, I felt a void open up, like I needed to be making music with Leigh.�?�
