It is, however, neither an anomaly nor entirely ambient. This is not a side project. From his numerous dance scores for New York City Ballet to instrumental albums such as Enjoy Your Rabbit, Aporia, and The BQE, Stevens spends at least half his working life making largely instrumental music, as he has for decades. And though the first ten pieces, dubbed \"Meditations,\" unfurl as gorgeous states of reflective new-age grace, this is by no means an ambient enterprise. Stevens invokes the lessons of Morton Subotnick, Maryanne Amacher, Christian Fennesz, Brian Eno, and Wolfgang Voigt here. As musically erudite as it is emotionally experienced, Convocations can be dissonant, vertiginous, rhythmic, repetitive, urgent, or calm-that is, all the things we undergo when we inevitably live through loss, isolation, and anxiety. Indeed, Convocations moves like a two-and-a-half-hour requiem mass for our present times of difficulty, it's 49 tracks allowing for all these feelings to be felt. The album is divided into five sonic cycles, each replicating a different stage of mourning. \"Meditations\" work toward acceptance and resolution, of coming to terms with the day's news even if it stings. The subsequent \"Lamentations\" slink, sputter, and sometimes grind, as sadness transmutes to anger and back again. The rhythmic drift and glitchy strata of \"Revelations\" allow for confusion and catharsis, of asking just why the world or the heavens have wronged us. With it's bright tones, occasional sweeps of strings, and scrambled voices, \"Celebrations\" offers furtive bits of fondness, though the nostalgia is never far removed from the news that prompted it. The final nine \"Incantations\" are lessons for those of us who remain, gorgeous and galvanizing reminders that our time here is as limited as the possibilities for how we spend it are infinite. Convocations occasionally soothes and sometimes hurts; when it's done, you're left with a renewed sense of wonder for being here at all.In fact, Stevens made Convocations in response to (and as an homage to) the life and death of his father, who died in September last year, two days following the release of The Ascension. It is, then, ultimately an album about loss, and an album that reflects a year in which we have all lost so much. One could easily compare this project to Stevens' album Carrie \u0026amp; Lowell, which he wrote following his mother's death. But this is something entirely different. A new time, a new season, a new life lost, a new reckoning, a new kind of isolation, grief, despair, frustration, confusion, and the search for happiness and hope for the future. This is not a personal record, but a universal one. Convocations is built on a shared experience that seeks to be honest about how complicated grief can be in these difficult times-the pain, the anxiety, the unknown, the absolute joy of memory. This is also an album made in lockdown, when we were all cloistered in whatever space we had. So long as the science and statistics hold, Convocations arrives just as we begin to emerge from a year whose losses we will calculate for a lifetime. It is, then, right on time, as we begin to process our grief and try to carry on with it. -Grayson Haver Currin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Meditation I \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Mediation II \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Meditation III \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Mediation IV \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Meditation V \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Meditation VI \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Meditation VII \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Meditation VIII \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Meditation IX \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Meditation X \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Lamentation I \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Lamentation II \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Lamentation III \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Lamentation IV \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Lamentation V \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Lamentation VI \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Lamentation VII \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Lamentation VIII \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Lamentation IX \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Lamentation X \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Revelation I \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Revelation II \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Revelation III \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Revelation IV \u003cbr\u003e1.25 Revelation V \u003cbr\u003e1.26 Revelation VI \u003cbr\u003e1.27 Revelation VII \u003cbr\u003e1.28 Revelation VIII \u003cbr\u003e1.29 Revelation IX \u003cbr\u003e1.30 Revelation X \u003cbr\u003e1.31 Celebration I \u003cbr\u003e1.32 Celebration II \u003cbr\u003e1.33 Celebration III \u003cbr\u003e1.34 Celebration IV \u003cbr\u003e1.35 Celebration V \u003cbr\u003e1.36 Celebration VI \u003cbr\u003e1.37 Celebration VII \u003cbr\u003e1.38 Celebration VIII \u003cbr\u003e1.39 Celebration IX \u003cbr\u003e1.40 Celebration X \u003cbr\u003e1.41 Incantation I \u003cbr\u003e1.42 Incantion II \u003cbr\u003e1.43 Incantation III \u003cbr\u003e1.44 Incantation IV \u003cbr\u003e1.45 Incantation V \u003cbr\u003e1.46 Incantation VI \u003cbr\u003e1.47 Incantation VII \u003cbr\u003e1.48 Incantation VIII \u003cbr\u003e1.49 Incantation IX\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59229538255193,"sku":"V41583661","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/3959610-2718042.jpg?v=1788058532"},{"product_id":"sufjan-stevens-convocations","title":"Sufjan Stevens: Convocations - COMPACT DISCS","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eConvocations\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eSufjan Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eAsthmatic Kitty\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eCOMPACT DISCS\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e729920164950\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eElectronic\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2021-09-24\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e5\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n It may be tempting to reduce Convocations into a longform ambient anomaly within Sufjan Stevens' vast catalogue.

Each track in this collection of eleven songs begins with a fragile melody that gathers steam until it becomes nothing less than a modern hymn. Sufjan recounts the indignities of our world, of technological distraction and sad sex, of an age without neither myths nor miracle - and this time around, his voice carries the burden of wisdom.

Planetarium is the new collaborative album co-composed by Sufjan Stevens, Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly and James McAlister. A completely re-imagined version of the project originally undertaken years ago and performed in various iterations around the world, Planetarium unites Stevens' vocals, McAlister's beats, Dessner's guitar performance, and Muhly's instrumental compositions - part rock odyssey, part electronic experiment, part classical opus. Conceptually, Planetarium revolves around the cosmic ideas Stevens' lyrics explore: mythology, astrology, science, astronomy and the intricacies of human consciousness. The album began when Dutch concert hall Muziekgebouw Eindhoven commissioned Muhly to create a new piece and he enlisted friends Dessner, Stevens and McAlister, all of whom had been looking for the opportunity to collaborate on a larger scale. After sketching the framework of the song cycle and performing the piece as a band - flanked by a string quartet and seven trombones - in various forms, the quartet put the project on hold for several years. Returning to the raw material in 2016, Stevens and McAlister reversed their typical process, taking recordings of the live show and adapting to the studio. \"We had recorded all the arrangements and the live parts in a studio after our last performance,\" says Stevens, \"so years later when we all kind of settled down, we said, 'let's open Pandora's box.'\" Stevens and McAlister worked to arrange Muhly's symphonic framework and Dessner's guitar virtuosity alongside their own lyrics and beats. Stevens became the driver behind the \"song\" part of the song cycle, his unique voice providing a clear and coherent center of gravity for the whole project.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Neptune \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Jupiter \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Halley's Comet \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Venus \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Uranus \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Mars \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Black Energy \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Sun \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Tides \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Moon \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Pluto \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Kuiper Belt \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Black Hole \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Saturn \u003cbr\u003e1.15 In the Beginning \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Earth \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Mercury\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59234234401113,"sku":"V32782486","price":10.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/3604951_0cdfa520-b780-49f3-9147-727f0cfcfe4d.jpg?v=1788059834"},{"product_id":"sufjan-stevens-a-beginners-mind","title":"Sufjan Stevens: A Beginner's Mind - VINYL","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eA Beginner's Mind\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eSufjan Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eAsthmatic Kitty\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e729920164981\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eRock\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2021-09-24\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n Vinyl LP pressing. 2021 release. It's been said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture (impossible and absurd). But what about singing about movies? Sufjan Stevens and Angelo de Augustine have paired up for a collaborative project that does just that. A Beginner's Mind is their debut album that contains 14 songs (loosely) based on (mostly) popular films. The source material is highbrow, lowbrow, and everything in between. The music is folksy, sweet, sincere and harmonically effervescent-Simon \u0026amp; Garfunkel with New Age flourishes. This album runs the gamut and has fun with it, even while it's songwriters remain fully rooted in the melancholy folk idioms they are known for. Daniel Anum Jasper, a pioneer of Ghanian movie poster painting, was commissioned to paint a series of new works for A Beginner's Mind. His paintings are a graphic simulacrum for the same sense of wonder, wordplay, and intrigue that shape A Beginner's Mind. By transforming old films into vital new songs, Stevens and de Augustine ask us to consider ourselves from a previously unconsidered vantage point-a new way of seeing and hearing-an exercise that's as necessary and relevant now as it's ever been.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Reach Out \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Lady MacBeth in Chains \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Back to Oz \u003cbr\u003e1.4 The Pillar of Souls \u003cbr\u003e1.5 You Give Death a Bad Name \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Beginner's Mind \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Olympus \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Murder and Crime \u003cbr\u003e1.9 (This Is) the Thing \u003cbr\u003e1.10 It's Your Own Body and Mind \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Lost in the World \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Fictional California \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Cimmerian Shade \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Lacrimae\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59234246820185,"sku":"V41921852","price":7.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/3997527-2740556.jpg?v=1788059837"},{"product_id":"stevens-sufjan-javelin","title":"Sufjan Stevens: Javelin - VINYL","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eJavelin\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eSufjan Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eAsthmatic Kitty\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e729920165902\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eRock\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2023-10-06\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eAdditional Details: \u003c\/b\u003eExplicit Lyrics\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n Vinyl LP pressing. 2023 release. Over the course of his career, Sufjan Stevens has blurred distinctions between the major and the minor, between the details that color our existence and the big events that frame our lives. He has turned historical footnotes of States into kaleidoscopic pop, and rendered the immeasurable grief of loss with intimacy and grace. Javelin - Sufjan's first solo album of songs since 2020's The Ascension and his first in full solo singer-songwriter mode since 2015's Carrie \u0026amp; Lowell - bridges all these approaches. Sufjan uses the quietness of a solitary confession to ask universal questions in songs we can share communally. Accompanying the CD and LP formats of the album is a 48-page book of art and essays. With a series of meticulous collages, cut-up catalog fantasies, puff-paint word clouds, and iterative color fields, Sufjan builds order from seeming chaos and vice versa. And toward the middle of it all are 10 short essays by Sufjan, another window into the process that informed Javelin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Goodbye Evergreen \u003cbr\u003e1.2 A Running Start \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Will Anybody Ever Love Me? \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Everything That Rises \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Genuflecting Ghost \u003cbr\u003e1.6 My Red Little Fox \u003cbr\u003e1.7 So You Are Tired \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Javelin (To Have and to Hold) \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Shit Talk \u003cbr\u003e1.10 There's a World\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59234302656857,"sku":"V43698936","price":8.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/4238519-3032652.jpg?v=1788059850"},{"product_id":"sufjan-stevens-the-avalanche","title":"Sufjan Stevens: The Avalanche - VINYL","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eThe Avalanche\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eSufjan Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eAsthmatic Kitty\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e656605366081\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eRock\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2018-08-31\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e2\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59234364653913,"sku":"V37015138","price":9.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/3848979.jpg?v=1788059863"},{"product_id":"sufjan-stevens-the-ascension-2","title":"Sufjan Stevens: The Ascension - COMPACT DISCS","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eThe Ascension\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eSufjan Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eAsthmatic Kitty\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eCOMPACT DISCS\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e729920164332\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eRock\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2020-10-02\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n The Ascension is the eighth studio album from singer, songwriter and composer Sufjan Stevens and is the long awaited follow-up to Stevens' Carrie \u0026amp; Lowell.

Stevens's gauzy double-tracked vocals wash across the dashboard of long-finned, drop-top Americana, yet as we race towards the coast we are reminded that sunshine leads to shadow, for this is a landscape of terminal roads, unsteady bridges, traumatic video stores, and unhappy beds that provide the scenery for tales of jackknifed cars, funerals, and forgiveness for the dead. Each track in this collection of eleven songs begins with a fragile melody that gathers steam until it becomes nothing less than a modern hymn. Sufjan recounts the indignities of our world, of technological distraction and sad sex, of an age without neither myths nor miracle - and this time around, his voice carries the burden of wisdom. Carrie \u0026amp; Lowell 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Death with Dignity \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Should Have Known Better \u003cbr\u003e1.3 All of Me Wants All of You \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Drawn to the Blood \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Eugene \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Fourth of July \u003cbr\u003e1.7 The Only Thing \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Carrie ; Lowell \u003cbr\u003e1.9 John My Beloved \u003cbr\u003e1.10 No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Blue Bucket of Gold\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59234509259097,"sku":"V27789483","price":4.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/2838108.jpg?v=1788059892"},{"product_id":"sufjan-stevens-songs-for-christmas","title":"Sufjan Stevens: Songs For Christmas - VINYL","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eSongs For Christmas\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eSufjan Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eAsthmatic Kitty\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e656605366098\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eRock\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2018-11-09\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n From 2001 through 2010, Sufjan Stevens recorded an annual Christmas album that he gifted to friends and family. The recording process took place every December for one week, usually at home, provoking collaborations with friends, roommates, and musical peers. In 2006, Stevens' label, Asthmatic Kitty Records, released Songs for Christmas, a CD boxset compiling the first five of these albums, Volumes I-V. Later in 2012, the label released Silver \u0026amp; Gold, a CD and vinyl boxset compiling of Volumes VI-X. But the first five volumes have never been released to vinyl. This holiday season, Asthmatic Kitty Records is proud to finally release Songs for Christmas: Volumes I-V as a 5-piece vinyl boxset. It arrives with all 42 songs from the original CD boxset, including fan favorites like \"Sister Winter,\" \"That Was The Worst Christmas Ever,\" \"Only At Christmas Time,\" and \"Put The Lights on the Tree.\" The 5LP boxset includes a new package design with illustrations by Stevens and Stephen Halker, and a family portrait painting by Jacques Bredy, as well as lyrics, chord charts, and full recording credits for all the songs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Silent Night \u003cbr\u003e1.2 O Come O Come Emmanuel \u003cbr\u003e1.3 We're Goin' to the Country! \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Lo!

Over the course of his career, Sufjan Stevens has blurred distinctions between the major and the minor, between the details that color our existence and the big events that frame our lives. He has turned historical footnotes of States into kaleidoscopic pop, and rendered the immeasurable grief of loss with intimacy and grace. Javelin - Sufjan's first solo album of songs since 2020's The Ascension and his first in full solo singer-songwriter mode since 2015's Carrie \u0026amp; Lowell - bridges all these approaches. Sufjan uses the quietness of a solitary confession to ask universal questions in songs we can share communally. Accompanying the CD and LP formats of the album is a 48-page book of art and essays. With a series of meticulous collages, cut-up catalog fantasies, puff-paint word clouds, and iterative color fields, Sufjan builds order from seeming chaos and vice versa. And toward the middle of it all are 10 short essays by Sufjan, another window into the process that informed Javelin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Goodbye Evergreen \u003cbr\u003e1.2 A Running Start \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Will Anybody Ever Love Me? \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Everything That Rises \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Genuflecting Ghost \u003cbr\u003e1.6 My Red Little Fox \u003cbr\u003e1.7 So You Are Tired \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Javelin (To Have and to Hold) \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Shit Talk \u003cbr\u003e1.10 There's a World\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59234916237657,"sku":"V43698868.0","price":4.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/4238467-3032651.jpg?v=1788059981"},{"product_id":"sufjan-stevens-love-yourself-with-my-whole-heart","title":"Sufjan Stevens: Love Yourself \/ With My Whole Heart - 7-INCH SINGLE","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eLove Yourself \/ With My Whole Heart\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eSufjan Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eAsthmatic Kitty\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003e7-INCH SINGLE\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e656605366258\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eRock\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2019-06-28\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eAdditional Details: \u003c\/b\u003eCOLORED VINYL\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n Four track single from Sufjan Stevens including the 1996 demo version of the track as well as a short reprise, releasing in honor of Pride Month in June.

It's been said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture (impossible and absurd). But what about singing about movies? Sufjan Stevens and Angelo de Augustine have paired up for a collaborative project that does just that. A Beginner's Mind is their debut album that contains 14 songs (loosely) based on (mostly) popular films. The source material is highbrow, lowbrow, and everything in between. The music is folksy, sweet, sincere and harmonically effervescent-Simon \u0026amp; Garfunkel with New Age flourishes. This album runs the gamut and has fun with it, even while it's songwriters remain fully rooted in the melancholy folk idioms they are known for. Daniel Anum Jasper, a pioneer of Ghanian movie poster painting, was commissioned to paint a series of new works for A Beginner's Mind. His paintings are a graphic simulacrum for the same sense of wonder, wordplay, and intrigue that shape A Beginner's Mind. By transforming old films into vital new songs, Stevens and de Augustine ask us to consider ourselves from a previously unconsidered vantage point-a new way of seeing and hearing-an exercise that's as necessary and relevant now as it's ever been.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Reach Out \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Lady MacBeth in Chains \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Back to Oz \u003cbr\u003e1.4 The Pillar of Souls \u003cbr\u003e1.5 You Give Death a Bad Name \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Beginner's Mind \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Olympus \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Murder and Crime \u003cbr\u003e1.9 (This Is) the Thing \u003cbr\u003e1.10 It's Your Own Body and Mind \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Lost in the World \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Fictional California \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Cimmerian Shade \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Lacrimae\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59235064414553,"sku":"V41921869","price":4.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/3997528-2740557.jpg?v=1788060064"}],"url":"https:\/\/normanrecord.com\/collections\/sufjan-stevens.oembed","provider":"NORMANRECORD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
