 SUFJAN STEVENS (USA)
«Carrie & Lowell» (Asthmatic Kitty Records, VÖ: 27.03.2014)
«The Best Record Sufjan Stevens Has Ever Made, also
known as Carrie & Lowell»—The Guardian
«The most interesting musician in America right now»—
Sunday Times
«As important questions about music’s worth in the age
of free continue to swirl around him, Sufjan’s still
combating instant-gratification culture the best way he
knows how.»—Pitchfork
«Yet again this prodigal genius manages to confound
«Carrie & Lowell» was recorded by Stevens alongside Casey Foubert, Laura Veirs, Nedelle Torrisi, Sean
Carey, Ben Lester and Thomas Bartlett and mixed by Stevens, Bartlett and Pat Dillet. Thematically the 11
songs address life and death, love and loss, and the artist’s struggle to make sense of the beauty and
ugliness of love. The album is named for Stevens’ mother and stepfather and is a return to Stevens’ folk
roots.
«No Shade In The Shadow Of The Cross» is the first track from Steven’s new record. Listen to it via
YouTube HERE. «Carrie & Lowell» will be released in Switzerland on March 27 on Stevens’ own
Asthmatic Kitty Records. Watch a trailer for the album HERE. Additionally, Asthmatic Kitty Records will
host local listening parties with independent record stores and venues between now and mid-March in
Tokyo, Indianapolis, London, Nottingham, Bristol, Dublin, Hamburg and Berlin . Visit carrieandlowell.com
