Snow Borne Sorrow, the celebrated album by David Sylvian’s Nine Horses group (with Steve Jansen and Bernd Friedman), will be released on black vinyl for the first time on June 13.

Initially released on Sylvian’s Samadhisound label in October 2005, it was previously only available digitally and on CD until Record Store Day 2024, when a limited edition white vinyl version was issued and instantly became a collector’s item.

Snow Borne Sorrow was Sylvian’s project with Steve Jansen and German musician/producer Bernd Friedmann, aka Burnt Friedman. It also features contributions from the late Ryiuchi Skamoto, Swedish singer Stina Nordenstam, saxophonists Theo Travis and Hayden Chisholm, and trumpeter Arve Henriksen.

The 2-LP set features the nine tracks from the original album plus one track from the follow-up EP Money For All (“Birds Sing For Their Lives”), the rare B-side of the “Wonderful World” single “When Monday Comes Around,” and a previously unreleased until 2024 Burnt Friedman remix of “Atom and Cell.”

The 2025 edition of Snow Borne Sorrow has been designed by Sylvian collaborator Chris Bigg (23 Envelope/4AD) and is housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner bags.

This isn’t the first album Sylvian has seen reissued in recent years. In 2024, his retrospective album Everything & Nothing also arrived on vinyl for the first time. The 29-track triple LP is a career-spanning compilation containing previously released, unreleased, re-recorded, non-album, and alternate versions of tracks from Sylvian’s years with Virgin Records.

Known for both his solo work and as the frontman of JapanEverything & Nothing covers the different directions Sylvian’s work took him during his time with the label. The album features key songs from David’s solo recordings, collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Robert Fripp, Mick Karn, and Alesini & Andreoni, as well as tracks by Japan and Rain Tree Crow.
