Our Take

Sufjan Stevens' latest effort, "Carrie & Lowell," is akin to a peaceful Sunday afternoon drive through the countryside - serene, introspective, and filled with poignant moments. The album's stripped-back production allows Stevens' haunting vocals and delicate guitar work to shine, creating an intimate listening experience that is both compelling and emotionally resonant.

From the somber opener "Death With Dignity" to the heart-wrenching "Fourth of July," Stevens bares his soul, exploring themes of loss, grief, and nostalgia with raw honesty. The album's titular subjects - Stevens' estranged mother and stepfather - loom large, casting a haunting shadow over the poignant lyrics and sparse instrumentation.

Tracks like "Should Have Known Better" and "Eugene" showcase Stevens' knack for crafting intricate melodies and poetic imagery, while the ethereal "John My Beloved" leaves a lasting impression with its haunting beauty. Throughout "Carrie & Lowell," Stevens navigates the depths of his emotions with grace and vulnerability, crafting a deeply personal and affecting listening experience.

While "Carrie & Lowell" may not be the most uplifting of listens, its emotional depth and raw honesty make it a compelling and ultimately rewarding album. Stevens' introspective songwriting and haunting vocals make for a captivating journey through the complexities of love, loss, and longing. Give this album a spin and prepare to be moved.
