Last week we brought you the exciting news that Sufjan Stevens, Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly and James McAlister have finally recorded their ‘Planetarium’ album; a 17-track collection of songs that are inspired by the solar system – I was lucky enough to experience this album live at the Sydney Opera House in 2012 as part of the annual VIVID Festival, and it was utterly mind-blowing!
The boys have shared another new track and Deborah Johnson directed video with us this week for the planet ‘Mercury’, and it’s so gorgeously sweet in every possible way.
