Carrie & Lowell

Released 2015Folk & Singer-Songwriter
Start here

A hushed, devastating meditation on his late mother, stripped back to whispered vocals and fingerpicked guitar. Almost unbearably intimate. A modern folk masterpiece. Released in 2015, it's one of Sufjan Stevens's later high points.

On vinyl: A vinyl-revival-era release, so fresh pressings are usually easy to find new.
