A furiously creative artist, Sufjan Stevens has already confirmed his involvement with a new rodeo documentary, due for release this year.
Well, the songwriter has just unveiled another project – a new studio album, to be precise. Sufjan Stevens’ first since 2010’s ‘The Age Of Adz’, ‘Carrie & Lowell’ will be released on March 30th via Asthmatic Kitty.
A blog posting reveals more, with the blurb stating:
In "Carrie and Lowell," Sufjan Stevens is a child again or, more specifically, the child character in the family of man drama that often but not always centers on the story of love given, or love forsaken, but isn't that the same thing to the poet? That the love Stevens sings about having left or given or been born to–thank you, Carrie–is a perceptible wound not only on the singer's throat, but his sleeve: he wears love's incomprehensibility, and the deep incomprehensibility of being a son, like a backing vocal on "Carrie and Lowell," which is also filled with colors, hearts, trees, conclusions, and beginnings, all adding up to the kind of intimacy that caught my eye the morning I sat in the diner waiting for the sun to get stronger as I saw intimacy pass by while going about it's business, like something sung and felt by Sufjan Stevens on his new beautiful solitary and rich record filled with faith and disbelief and the resurrection of trust and dreams."
