Quick little album rec.
Such a beautiful and well-crafted album that reflects on life and loss with all around great music. I feel like Sufjan is one of those artists that kinda flies under the radar, but truly has one of the best artist discographies. And it’s a fairly short album so you have no excuse not to listen <3

I love when you can tell that an album is something special right out the gate. After eight (!) years of experimentation post Carrie & Lowell it feels like he's returning to his quite & intimate roots once again.
I remember being in college when Carrie & Lowell came out, back when I was sponging up decades of classics and listening to anything Pitchfork told me to. Obviously a little cringe to look back on, but I think it's actually good to have that phase at some point. Just don't stay that way forever. Find your shit.
This is the type of music I normally reach for- something sparse and a bit sad- and I like that Sufjan adds these euphoric moments of instrumentation to break up the record & make it feel less intensely sad.

A beautiful, 25-minute journey of a song. Takes up an entire side of the LP.
25 minutes might sound daunting or unnecessary but it never once feels that way.

One of my favorite albums of all time. Every song on this album is excellent and it only affirmed my deep crush on Sufjan Stevens.
