On March 21st 2015, Sufjan Stevens released one of the most beautiful albums of our generation, “Carrie & Lowell”.
Sufjan is celebrating that album now with a “10th Anniversary Edition”, which comes as an expanded double-LP album that includes seven previously unreleased bonus tracks, a 40-page art book, and a new essay by Sufjan Stevens. The deluxe edition also offers an alternative cover, which is a full-framed version of the original Polaroid zoomed out to reveal the photo’s caption written in a child’s handwriting – “Carrie & Lowell” – disclosing the source of the album title, that was written by Sufjan’s sister, Djamilah (see below).
This album has always held a very special place in my heart. I haven’t listened to it for some time now, but while listening to it again over the last few days, it’s been truly wonderful revisiting all of the memories and emotions that I was experiencing myself ten years ago…
