He’s never been out about it but a lot of his albums have dealt with religious themes through the eyes of a queer person longing for acceptance
Fuck, that just makes this all so much more emotional. I hope he’s feeling all the love today as a result of his work. It very well might be his best album and it’s a beautiful piece of art.
This album is hitting me like a freight train this morning and that post is reversing the train back over me
Unbelievably good album. And all he's shared about his life lately, goddamn, not really anything else to say
just got my copy in. that 48 page booklet warped the disc a tiny bit, but it surprisingly sits fine, so i'll keep it.
It is not enough that the album itself is incredibly moving and his recent experiences are soul-crushingly heavy and human but he also has to demonstrate grace and appreciation and humility through it all. JFC Sufjan.
Very good album. I can't wait to walk at night listening to it. October is killing it with new releases.
