Stevens’ most recent album, Carrie & Lowell, was written as a reaction to the death of his mother (Carrie), in 2012.

Of course, it’s to be expected of Sufjan, that his music presents such delicately evocative narratives and especially with his latest album Carrie & Lowell, there’s some intensely personal stories to be told.

Regardless of how long we had been apart of this fan club, most can attest that there is something uniquely ethereal about Sufjan Stevens.
