The U & U Show 400 | #SXSW 2015 Recap
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.
Waxahatchee
: blue pt. ii : Cerulean Salt (2013)
-
2nd full length. 3rd is on its way.
-
Project from Kate Crutchfield.
-
Debut was lo-fi and a rougher DIY style album.
-
Played a series of stripped back solo shows with
only her twin sister, Allison of Swearin', on backup vocals at SXSW 2015.
