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.
