From now until Epiphany, pay what you want for any or all of my three Xmas releases, and all of the proceeds will go to the Catholic Peace Fellowship.
From their website: “The purpose of the CPF is to support Catholic conscientious objectors through education, counseling, and advocacy. Guided by a personalist philosophy, the CPF seeks to resist war by helping those who choose not to participate in it, one person at a time.”
If you’re not really into Catholicism, even of the lefty variety, but are into peacemaking, you might still be into this considering well over half of the members of the U.S. military are Roman Catholic. You can still take the records for free too, and you can still also not listen to them at all.

Friends,
While beginning work on my new full length Nonsubstantiation, I thought of you, and I thought of this season, and I thought maybe you could use a gift. What do you give someone who already has a bunch of Iafrate Xmas musics? More Iafrate Xmas musics. Here for you is a digital two-song single tho in the style of the old physical two-sided singles. The first track is “The Friendly Beasts,” a version to add to a long legacy of versions such like The Louvin Brothers, Johnny Cash, and The Sufjan. The second track is an instrumental version of the hymn “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence” with interesting instruments. The songs were recorded this past week by David Klug. Aaron Crothers (Good Sport, The Emergency) played the bass guitar. And Karri Roberts provided the beautiful peacock painting for the cover. The single is free to download and it is available here. Enjoy it. A bunch of original songs from the same session are on the way.
