Asthmatic Kitty announces a 10th Anniversary Edition of Sufjan Stevens’ Carrie & Lowell. The double-LP, out on May 30th, features seven previously unreleased bonus tracks and a 40-page Booklet. Listen to the previously unreleased “Mystery of Love (Demo)”.

Perhaps it’s because we’re across the pond, but Post Empire feels entirely suited for Summer. It has the sound of the mid-west, with adept and agile fingerstyle guitar that places itself in the middle of a dusty desert sunset, bouncing off rocks and into the ether. ‘You Divers’ begins with swooning filmic …

Today’s Song of the Day is from Sufjan Stevens album The Age of Adz: I Walked. Sufjan Stevens – I Walked Sufjan Stevens Collaboration It must be something in the air what with Bjork’s cosmic calling on Biophilia and now Sufjan Stevens creation of a song-cycle loosely based on the planets.
