Description
‘Carrie & Lowell’, his first album in almost 5 years, has been called “The best record Sufjan Stevens has ever made” by The Guardian. It is somewhat of a return to the sparse, pared-back sounds of ‘Seven Swans’ and, whilst it sound like a memory, it does not trade on pastiche or nostalgia. Each song begins with a fragile melody that gathers steam until it becomes nothing less than a modern hymn.The album accomplishes the rare thing that any art should achieve, particularly in these noisy and fragmented days – by seeking to understand, Sufjan makes us feel less alone. Sufjan Stevens will be headlining the End Of The Road festival, with UK tour dates to be announced soon.
