Sufjan Stevens，1975年出生，可能成为我们这个世代最重要的Singer/Songwriter。 高中时学习双簧管，大学时专研斑鸠琴，随后不论是吉他、钢琴、手风琴、曼陀林、敲击乐器等，都成了Sufjan的精通范围。成为专职音乐家前，这名全才的乐器演奏能手也曾是科幻小说的作家与时代杂志的内页设计师。出道以来音乐风格之变化多端，与他精彩的职场履历恰可比拟。 Enjoy Your Rabbit是Sufjan Stevens的个人第2张专辑 以中国的十二生肖为题 玩的却是光怪陆离的电子即兴曲风

Carrie & Lowell sounds like memory: it spans decades yet does not trade on pastiche or nostalgia. Stevens's gauzy double-tracked vocals wash across the dashboard of long-finned, drop-top Americana, yet as we race towards the coast we are reminded that sunshine leads to shadow, for this is a landscape of terminal roads, unsteady bridges, traumatic video stores, and unhappy beds that provide the scenery for tales of jackknifed cars, funerals, and forgiveness for the dead. Each track in this collection of eleven songs begins with a fragile melody that gathers steam until it becomes nothing less than a modern hymn. Sufjan recounts the indignities of our world, of technological distraction and sad sex, of an age without neither myths nor miracle and this time around, his voice carries the burden of wisdom. Carrie & Lowell accomplishes the rare thing that any art should achieve, particularly in these noisy and fragmented days: By seeking to understand, Sufjan makes us feel less alone.
