LP – Black Vinyl

Carrie&Lowellis an album by American indie folk musicianSufjan Stevens released through Asthmatic Kitty on March 31, 2015.

Unlike Stevens‘ previous album, the electronic The Age of Adz (2010), Carrie & Lowell features sparse instrumentation, with critics noting it as reminiscent of the performer’s earlier indie folkinspired material.

Carrie & Lowellreceived immediate widespread critical success, with many labeling it Stevens‘ best, and it was routinely named among the best albums of 2015 in many publications’ year-end lists.
