Sufjan Stevens : Death With Dignity : Carrie and Lowell (2015)

-          I believe it's officially his forthcoming 6th album, but he's also but out numerous other compilations and releases from side projects.

-          One of the most talented musicians that I've been able to enjoy every step of the way.

-          This first teaser sounds like a hope-elevating return to his early stripped back folk days.
