Sufjan Stevens - Convocations (May 6, 2021)

I’m here for it.

 

cool, I did like Aporia quite a bit (probably more than The Ascension honestly)

 

That old myth about sharks needing to keep swimming forward or else they'll die. That, but Sufjan Stevens with making music.

 

Just not with the states albums

 

This sounds cool as hell, here for it.

 

Enjoying that album cover.

 

wait so is it 5 albums?

 

Oh boy

 

Love the description for this. Such a thoughtful musician.

 

Never fell in love with The Ascension but I can definitely fuck with some ambient Sufjan. Hell yes.

 

Meditations is premiering right now on YouTube

 

Interesting. Not really my cup of tea, but I'm glad other people are enjoying this.

Edit: Never mind. Listened again with headphones. This is fantastic. Meditation II is just...gorgeous.

 

I like it a lot.

 

this is a nice chill nighttime vibe, doubt I'll ever listen again but it's nice

 

Wonder if any of this was ever intended for a film or something at one point

 

I just listened to this while driving earlier tonight and it was really hitting well. My first impressions were really strong overall! I guess we'll see how I feel about it after another listen or two.

 

ascension rules

 

Revelations is a much more difficult listen than Meditations. The title obviously lends itself to that, but this one is depressing and harsh

 

Yeah, so far I've only been able to get through Meditations. The noise stuff just gives me a headache. Literally.
