Using almost no exterior samples, Stevens crafts an electronic, all-\"instrumental\" song cycle based on the symbols of the Chinese zodiac.  While working within these considerably narrower confines, he still maps out a wide musical territory by using each symbol as a mode, each one exploring different textures and tempos and, in the process, evoking a surprising array of moods.  At times eerie and ominous like a backwoods Autechre, other times sounding like more club-oriented fare, Stevens sometimes trades in bloops and bleeps for oblique glitches and crackles, but the underlying guiding principle is wide-eyed exploration that fills nearly every track with a sense of playfulness.  \u003cem\u003eEnjoy Your Rabbit\u003c\/em\u003e never gets too serious, although at times it's very intense.  Many tracks even have some sort of musical pun working just under the surface; for instance, \"Year of the Horse\" is by far the longest, clocking in at over 13 minutes, and \"Year of the Ox\" has a regular, heavy thudding beat. - itunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: April 16, 2002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Asthmatic Kitty Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 656605919621\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772016001,"sku":"Sufjan Stevens (1)","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Sufjan_Stevens_Enjoy_Your_Rabbit_CD.jpg?v=1748616081"},{"product_id":"sufjan-stevens-michigan-cd","title":"Greetings From Michigan CD","description":"Sufjan Stevens' third album is a charming homage to his home state of Michigan.

Many of these themes were dealt with eloquently on Greetings from Michigan: The Great Lakes State, presenting the singer\/multi-instrumentalist as a first-rate interpreter of the human condition, as well as a gifted musician. The 12 tracks on Swans yield the same bounty, but with a leaner arsenal, due to Stevens' sparse arrangements and production from Danielson Famile mastermind Daniel Smith.  Fellow Famile members Elin, Megan, David, and Andrew - who also appeared on The Great Lakes State - lend their vocal and percussion talents to the mix, resulting in a surreal campfire environment that's part confessional and part processional.  Beginning with the gorgeously titled \"All the Trees in the Field Will Clap Their Hands,\" Stevens saunters out of the gate with nary an overdub to be heard, letting the banjo lead the parade, slowly picking up piano, percussion, and the angelic voices of Megan and Elin before disappearing over the hilltop.  He channels Bert Jansch on the love song \"The Dress Looks Nice on You\" and Eric Matthews on \"To Be Alone With You,\" striking a winning balance of '60s British folk and indie Americana. Like the Violent Femmes' seminal pseudo-Christian masterpiece, Hallowed Ground, Seven Swans treats religion with simplicity and sincerity, approaching the subject with an almost feverish peacefulness. \"Abraham,\" \"We Won't Need Legs to Stand,\" and \"He Woke Me Up Again,\" with its fiery, overdriven organ, are all effective tomes of the singer's faith, but that faith can be tested.  Stevens is quite aware of the dark, and no more so than on the Flannery O'Connor-inspired \"A Good Man Is Hard to Find,\" a first-person murder narrative that reveals a subtle current of menace only hinted at in the earlier portion of the record.  Like faith, these songs require patience, as their almost mantra-like arcs take their time to fully form.  By the time he reaches the spirited closer, \"Transfiguration,\" an affirming take on the Gospels that reaches an almost Polyphonic Spree crescendo, the listener has no choice but to conform - if only for the length of the record - to the writer's unabashed spirituality, and at just under 45 minutes, it's an easy choice to make. - iTunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: March 16, 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Sounds Familyre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 656605551326 \/ 656605613321\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772051393,"sku":"Sufjan Stevens (3)","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Sufjan_Stevens_Seven_Swans_CD.jpg?v=1748615811"},{"product_id":"sufjan-stevens-michigan-vinyl","title":"Greetings From Michigan Vinyl LP","description":"Double vinyl LP edition of \"Michigan,\" the 2003 release from Sufjan Stephens.

But as the project began to develop into an unwieldy epic, common sense weighed in-as did the opinions of others-and the project was cut in half. But as 2005 came to a close, Sufjan returned to the old, forsaken songs on his 8-track like a grandfather remembering his youth, indulging in old journals and newspaper clippings. What he uncovered went beyond the merits of nostalgia; it was more like an ensemble of capricious friends and old acquaintances wearing party outfits, waiting to be let in at the front door, for warm drinks and interesting conversation. Among them were Saul Bellow, Ann Landers, Adlai Stevenson, and a brief cameo from Henry Darger's Vivian Girls. The gathering that followed would become the setting for the songs on The Avalanche: Outtakes and Extras from the Illinois Album. Sufjan gleaned 21 useable tracks from the abandoned material, including three alternate versions of Chicago. Some songs were in finished form, others were merely outlines, gesture drawings, or musical scribbles mumbled on a hand-held tape recorder. Most of the material required substantial editing, new arrangements or vocals. Much of the work was done at the end of 2005 or in January the following year. Sufjan invited many of the original Illinoisemakers to fill in the edges: drums, trumpet, a choir of singers. The centerpiece, of course, was the title track-The Avalanche-a song intended for the leading role on the Illinois album but eventually cut and placed as a bonus track on the vinyl release. In his rummaging through old musical memorabilia, Sufjan began to use this song as a meditation on the editorial process, returning to old forms, knee-deep in debris, sifting rocks and river water for an occasional glint of gold. \"I call ye cabin neighbors,\" the song bemuses, \"I call you once my friends.\" And like an avid social organizer, Sufjan took in all the odd musical misfits and gathered them together for a party of their own, like good friends. A careful listener may uncover the obvious trend on this record: almost every song on the Illinois album has a counterpart on the outtakes. Carl Sandburg arm-wrestles Saul Bellow. The aliens landing near Highland salute Clyde Tombaugh, the man who discovered Pluto. The loneliness of \"Casimir Pulaski Day\" deepens even further in the foreboding soundtrack to \"Pittsfield.\" At its best, The Avalanche is an exercise in form, revealing the working habits of one of the most productive songwriters today. As an illustration, the avalanche refers to the snow and rubble that falls off the side of a mountain, or, in this case, the musical debris generously chucked from an abundant epic. It's unlikely you'll find a mountain in the Prairie State so the metaphor will have to do. -asthmatickitty\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: July 11, 2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Asthmatic Kitty Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 656605830223\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772117889,"sku":"Sufjan Stevens (8)","price":15.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Sufjan_Stevens_The_Avalanche_CD.jpg?v=1748615260"},{"product_id":"sufjan-stevens-christmas-box-set","title":"Songs for Christmas 5-CD Box Set","description":"In December 2001, Sufjan set out to create a Christmas gift for his friends and family.

The recordings were largely electronic, full of oblique glitches, repetitive trills and experimental textures, occasionally punctuated by meditative expanses of sound.  The record's art, created by Matt Morgan, consisted of a series of two-dimensional vector illustrations, outlines of dragons, tigers, and monkeys composed in stiff panoramics.  \u003ci\u003eAt times eerie and ominous like a backwoods Autechere\u003c\/i\u003e wrote one online record guide; Enjoy Your Rabbit seemed less like a sophomore slump or a sophomore smash than an entertaining divergence.  It was not, however, what you might call a good career move.  Not that Sufjan had a music career at all.  By day, he was a graphic designer, by night, a writing student at The New School.  Five years and a handful of (slightly) more popular albums later, in 2006 Sufjan's peer, friend and neighbor Bryce Dessner (Clogs, The National), introduced an unlikely notion: to re-arrange the entirety of Enjoy Your Rabbit for the string quartet Osso, a hard-working ensemble that had appeared on Sufjan's Illinois and My Brightest Diamond's Bring Me The Workhorse.  Dessner commissioned horn player\/conductor\/composer Mike Atkinson to arrange the first four of these songs (Rabbit, Ox, Lord, and Boar) for a performance at the 2007 Music Now festival in Cincinnati, Ohio.  Sufjan and Asthmatic Kitty were so entertained by the results they decided to explore the project further.  They commissioned additional composers to write new arrangements of the remaining songs from the original album.  Michael Atkinson contributed a fifth arrangement for Monkey.  Osso violinists Rob Moose (Antony and the Johnsons, Beth Orton) and Olivier Manchon (Clare and the Reasons, Orchestre de Chambre Miniature) contributed arrangements for, respectively, the Tiger, Horse, Dog, and the Snake and Rat. Russian composer Maxim Moston (Antony and the Johnsons, Joan As Policewoman, Slow Six) arranged the Sheep, Nico Muhly (Bjork, The National, Philip Glass) arranged the Dragon, and Gabriel Kahane (who can be heard playing the piano cadenza on Sufjan's cover of \u003ci\u003eYou Are The Blood\u003c\/i\u003e on the Dark Was the Night Compilation) arranged the Rooster.  Each arrangement was work-shopped democratically, allowing for players, arrangers, and songwriter to modify charts (and mollify awkward moments) over time, resulting in a populist project.  What happens when you translate electronic music for live instruments?  The string quartet proves itself a capable ensemble: tireless, versatile, and resourceful in its paraphrasing of all the improbable sounds and textures of the original album.  Computer-generated glitches are rendered as squeaks and squeals on the bow.  Sequenced back-beats become resonant hand-taps on the body of the cello.  White noise is scored for the players' voices-the boar ends in a crescendo of hissing, while the sheep includes notation for tongue clicking.  This explains the sound effects, but the most affecting textures on the album are entirely harmonic.  Here, the quartet provides a vital component the original album lacked entirely-the human element (live players on live instruments) - allowing for greater emotional diversity, uncovering gorgeous anthems, melancholy dirges, and up-tempo pop tunes that were otherwise concealed behind a wash of synthetic sound manipulation.  The album's greatest strengths are its sense of humor, playfulness, and its anthropomorphic pleasures, expanded and exaggerated in the hands of able players.

Silver \u0026amp; Gold, the 2012 follow-up to 2006's Songs for Christmas, offers up another five-EP set of schizophrenic seasonal cheer from one of indie pop's most prolific and maddeningly detail-oriented overachievers.  Housed in an incredibly colorful box that yields volumes 6-10 of the series, they are presented in meticulously decorated, single cardboard sleeves that feel like part of a graphic design thesis, and are accompanied by an 80-page booklet filled with lyrics, chord charts, childhood photos, and personal and production liner notes peppered with rainbow headers, temporary tattoos that include a skeleton Santa, a Manga unicorn and an emo-Jesus, and a construct-it-yourself holiday ornament (comic book-style instructions are provided).  Stylistically, it's a lot to take in which, not surprisingly, applies to the music as well.  For the most part, Silver \u0026amp; Gold stays true to Stevens' predilection for kitchen sink, lo-fi chamber pop, but he plays fast and loose with the formula, offering up nervy, post-rock oddities like \"Mr. Frosty Man\" and \"X-Spirit Catcher,\" progressive folk epics in \"The Boy with the Star on his Head\" and \"Christmas Unicorn,\" and an Age of Adz-inspired rendition of yuletide favorite \"Alphabet Street,\" by Prince in lieu of just standards.  That's not to say that the Christmas spirit has been subverted, as Stevens provides plenty of traditional holiday cheer (\"Joy to the World,\" \"Angels We Have Heard on High,\" \"Silent Night,\" \"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,\" \"It Came Upon a Midnight Clear\" (which clocks in at 40 seconds and is performed only on recorders), and his band of disparate merry makers, who include Aaron and Bryce Dessner (the National), Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire), and assorted members of the Castanets and the Danielson Famile, among others, who help to keep things lively and spontaneous, resulting in an audio experience that's akin to pressing your ear against the door of a rehearsal room in a church basement, or watching a Wes Anderson movie while listening to A Charlie Brown Christmas. - iTunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: November 13, 2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Asthmatic Kitty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 656605610023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772465409,"sku":"Sufjan Stevens (17)","price":44.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Sufjan_Stevens_Silver_Gold_5-CD_Box_Set.jpg?v=1748614125"},{"product_id":"sufjan-stevens-carrie-lowell","title":"Carrie \u0026 Lowell CD","description":"Sufjan Stevens has taken creative detours into textured electro-pop, orchestral suites, and holiday music, but Carrie \u0026amp; Lowell returns to the feathery indie folk of his quietly brilliant early-‘00s albums like Michigan and Seven Swans.

A completely reimagined 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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: June 9, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: 4Ad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 191400000926\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49189984141,"sku":"Sufjan Stevens (20)","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Planetarium_CD_Sufjan_Stevens_Bryce_Dressner_Nico_Muhly_James_McAlister.jpg?v=1748613705"},{"product_id":"planetarium-vinyl","title":"Planetarium Vinyl LP","description":"Double Vinyl LP edition of Planetarium, the new collaborative album co-composed by Sufjan Stevens, Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly and James McAlister. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINYL Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: June 9, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: 4Ad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 191400000919\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49189984973,"sku":"Sufjan Stevens (21)","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Planetarium_Vinyl_LP_Sufjan_Stevens_Bryce_Dressner_Nico_Muhly_James_McAlister.png?v=1748613590"},{"product_id":"stevens-sufjan-carrie-lowell-live","title":"Blue Bucket of Gold Live + Hotline Bling Live Vinyl w\/ Carrie \u0026 Lowell Live Download","description":"Translucent blue 12\" vinyl release includes \"Blue Bucket of Gold\" on one side, a cover of Drake's \"Hotline Bling\" featuring Gallant on Side B, and a digital download to the full 16-track Carrie \u0026amp; Lowell Live album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Carrie \u0026amp; Lowell Live is an audio document of Sufjan Stevens' November 9, 2015 performance at North Charleston Performing Arts Center in South Carolina.

But as the project began to develop into an unwieldy epic, common sense weighed in - as did the opinions of others - and the project was cut in half. But as 2005 came to a close, Sufjan Stevens returned to the old, forsaken songs on his 8-track like a grandfather remembering his youth, indulging in old journals and newspaper clippings. What he uncovered went beyond the merits of nostalgia; it was more like an ensemble of capricious friends and old acquaintances wearing party outfits, waiting to be let in at the front door, for warm drinks and interesting conversation. Among them were Saul Bellow, Ann Landers, Adlai Stevenson, and a brief cameo from Henry Darger's Vivian Girls. The gathering that followed would become the setting for the songs on The Avalanche: Outtakes and Extras from the Illinois Album.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINYL Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: August 31, 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Asthmatic Kitty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e656605366081\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13376824049730,"sku":"Sufjan Stevens (24)","price":31.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Sufjan_Stevens_The_Avalanche_Vinyl_LP.jpg?v=1748616202"},{"product_id":"stevens-sufjan-greatest-gift-cd","title":"The Greatest Gift CD","description":"CD version of The Greatest Gift, from Sufjan Stevens.

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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIndeed, Convocations moves like a two-and-a-half-hour requiem mass for our present times of difficulty, its 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. Convocations occasionally soothes and sometimes hurts; when it’s done, you’re left with a renewed sense of wonder for being here at all.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn fact, Stevens made Convocations in response to (and as an homage to) the life and death of his biological 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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINYL Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: September 24, 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Asthmatic Kitty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 729920164844\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39616402587824,"sku":"Sufjan Stevens (36)","price":79.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/products\/Sufjan_Stevens_Convocations_Colored_Vinyl_Box_Set.jpg?v=1776004283"},{"product_id":"stevens-sufjan-beginners-mind-cd","title":"A Beginner's Mind CD","description":"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.

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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIndeed, Convocations moves like a two-and-a-half-hour requiem mass for our present times of difficulty, its 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. Convocations occasionally soothes and sometimes hurts; when it’s done, you’re left with a renewed sense of wonder for being here at all.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn fact, Stevens made Convocations in response to (and as an homage to) the life and death of his biological 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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: September 24, 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Asthmatic Kitty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 729920164950\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40715752702128,"sku":"Sufjan Stevens (40)","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Sufjan_Stevens_Convocations_CD.jpg?v=1748610369"},{"product_id":"stevens-sufjan-fourth-july","title":"Fouth Of July 7-Inch Single (Red, 45 RPM)","description":"This 7\" vinyl single includes 2 new versions of Fourth of July.

The original version of \"Fourth of July\" appeared on Sufjan's 2015 album, Carrie \u0026amp; Lowell. As is (and was) his custom, Sufjan would often rework different versions of his songs while recording an album, and \"Fourth of July\" was no exception. (Other versions \u0026amp; remixes of the song were released on \"The Greatest Gift\" mixtape and on the \"Exploding Whale\" 7\" single.) These two latest versions were recently found on old harddrives. The refrain of the song, \"We're all gonna die,\" invokes a meditation on human mortality and fragility, even as it acts as an anchor of stoic hope.

Includes code for MP3 download. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was Hunter S. Thompson who wrote, When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. It couldn't apply more to the work of Sufjan Stevens, who seems to have found a new way of communicating with his 2010 release, The Age of Adz (pronounced oddz). After a few gentle guitar notes on the opener, Futile Devices, Adz turns towards electronics that connect and splinter Stevens' worldview and psychic well-being. The percussion turns brittle for Too Much and the spacey reverbs laced throughout give things a disjointed feel as the title track, I Walked and the choir-doom of Now That I'm Older spread out across the universe. Get Real Get Right sounds like a dance party where everyone freaks out and speaks in tongues. This child of Talking Heads loves his rhythms but he also loves his avant-garde textures. Bad Communication lives up to its title. Vesuvius and All By Myself find an inner calm amongst the chaos. Impossible Soul is an incredibly long closing track that further underscores Stevens' grand ambitions. - iTunes \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINYL Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: November 09, 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Asthmatic Kitty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 729929166299\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47193555173603,"sku":"Sufjan Stevens (51)","price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Sufjan_Stevens_The_Age_of_Adz_Vinyl_LP_Purple.png?v=1758505049"},{"product_id":"javelin-vinyl-lp-orange","title":"Javelin Vinyl LP (Orange Crush)","description":"Orange Crush Vinyl LP edition of Javelin, the 2023 release from Sufjan Stevens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e His new album 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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINYL Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: May 23, 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Think Indie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 729920166237\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47618512748771,"sku":"Sufjan Stevens (52)","price":44.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Sufjan_Stevens_Javelin_Vinyl_LP_Orange_Crush.png?v=1764248225"},{"product_id":"sufjan-stevens-worst-christmas-ever-vinyl-red","title":"Worst Christmas Ever!
