The prolific Sufjan Stevens is coming to the Altria Theatre in May, but you can listen to all of his new record Carrie & Lowell before the album drops 3/31.
Earlier this month, Stevens released the first single off the new record, “Should Have Known Better,” which you can watch the ‘music only’ video below:
“These are intensely personal songs, constructed with sincerity, care, a compassionate fascination with religious faith and connection, and an innate understanding of the way messy, overlapping emotions can color our memories,” writes NPR Music’s Stephen Thompson in his review of the new record. “In a sense, it feels like a concept album about silence — silence to reflect, silence following a death, silence as an alternative to noise and confusion — in such a way that it demands silent attention. It’s a soundtrack for late-night drives and solitary Sunday mornings when every distraction is muted.”
The folks at NPR have a ‘first listen’ stream up on their site, you can check it out here.
