Sufjan Stevens: Carrie & Lowell versione su vinile LP in standard edizione. Questa particolare edizione è stata pubblicata in Stati Uniti nella casa editrice Asthmatic Kitty Records in data 6. dicembre 2019.

Bombast byl včera. Carrie & Lowell, nové album Sufjana Stevense, je návratem k osobnosti. Intimní a ohromující. Album - pojmenované po Stevensově matce a nevlastním otci - je návratem ke Stevensovým folkovým kořenům.

Jedenáct písní se tematicky zabývá životem a smrtí, láskou a ztrátou a umělcovou snahou pochopit lásku v celé její kráse i ošklivosti. Carrie & Lowell nahrál sám Stevens. Účinkují Casey Foubert, Laura Veirs, Nedelle Torrisi, Sean Carey, Ben Lester a Thomas Bartlett. Mixovali Stevens, Bartlett a Pat Dillet.

Sufjan Stevens v současné době žije v Brooklynu ve státě New York. Jeho záliba v epických konceptech ho posunula k vytvoření dvou státnických alb (Michigan & Illinois), sbírky duchovních a biblických písní (Seven Swans), elektronického alba pro zvířata čínského zvěrokruhu (Enjoy Your Rabbit), dvou vánočních boxů (Songs for Christmas, vol. 1-5 a Silver & Gold, vol. 6-10) a přelomové tónové básně na objednávku Brooklynské hudební akademie neboli BAM pro Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (The BQE).

V roce 2010 vydal Stevens formátově pestré EP (All Delighted People) a celovečerní album The Age of Adz, kolekci písní přinejmenším částečně inspirovaných outsiderským umělcem Royalem Robertsonem.

Reviews
"Stevens opět ukazuje své kvality na kytaru, banjo a klavír, vytváří romanticko-elegantní písňové miniatury bez bicích, bez elektroniky a ukazuje se jako atmosférický aranžér s lo-fi šarmem." (Audio, červen 2015)

Album comprende generi Rock, Folk, World e Country, Folcloristico e Folk Rock.

Bombast was yesterday. Carrie & Lowell, the new album from Sufjan Stevens, is a return of the personal. Intimate and stunning. The album - named after Stevens' mother and stepfather - is a return to Stevens' folk roots. The eleven songs are thematically concerned with life and death, love and loss, and the songwriter's quest to understand love in all its beauty and ugliness. Carrie & Lowell was recorded by Stevens himself. Starring: Casey Foubert, Laura Veirs, Nedelle Torrisi, Sean Carey, Ben Lester and Thomas Bartlett. Mixed by Stevens, Bartlett and Pat Dillet. Sufjan Stevens currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. His penchant for epic concepts has led him to two state albums (Michigan & Illinois), a collection of spiritual and biblical songs (Seven Swans), an electronic album for the animals of the Chinese zodiac (Enjoy Your Rabbit), two Christmas box sets (Songs for Christmas, vol. 1-5 and Silver & Gold, vol. In 2010, Stevens released a format-different EP (All Delighted People) as well as an LP album, The Age of Adz, a collection of songs at least partially inspired by outsider artist Royal Robertson. review "You have to get caught up in the silence to like 'Carrie & Lowell'. But those who do will love the album and cherish it like a good friend." (Good Times, April/May 2015) "Stevens once again shows his chops on guitar, banjo and piano, creating romantic, elegiac song miniatures with no drums, no electronics, and showing himself to be an atmospheric arranger with lo-fi charm."
