SUFJAN STEVENS A SUN CAME Asthmatic Kitty This reissue of A Sun Came, in the shadow of Sufjan Stevens's most recent work, is rather underwhelming and eclectic almost to a fault. The folkish core of Stevens's best material is easily discernable on the wood flute/Scottish highland vibe of the opening ...

Greetings From Michigan: The Great Lake State (Asthmatic Kitty/Sounds Familyre). Review by Aaron Shaul.
SUFJAN STEVENS GREETINGS FROM MICHIGAN: THE GREAT LAKE STATE Asthmatic Kitty/Sounds Familyre I've lived all but one of my twenty-four years in Michigan; twelve years of that spent in the wilds of the Upper Peninsula and the rest like a roving wart on the middle of the mitten. I'll be the first to tell ...

Seven Swans (Sounds Familyre). Review by Aaron Shaul.
SUFJAN STEVENS SEVEN SWANS Sounds Familyre After last year's masterpiece Greetings From Michigan... it was unlikely that Sufjan Stevens's follow-up album, released less than a year later, would be an even grander statement. Seven Swans lives up to this logic, but in a completely positive way. Stevens ...

Enjoy Your Rabbit (Asthmatic Kitty). Review by Carl Glaser.
SUFJAN STEVENS ENJOY YOUR RABBIT Asthmatic Kitty I'm getting dirty looks from the waiter. I'm sure he realizes that somebody wearing headphones during the lunch rush cannot be a good omen. But I must understand this album: "programmatic songs for the animals of the Chinese Zodiac." The local paper ...

If the Motion Picture Academy has learned one thing this year, it's that independent and low-budget films are generally better than the crap that Hollywood is now pumping out. So what can the Grammys learn from this? Tim Wardyn goes over the lesson plan.
... ? There were no less than 100 albums that were better than that one yet Love, Angel, Music, Baby gets the nod over brilliant albums like Illinois by Sufjan Stevens or the Arcade Fire's Funeral. Sure, Funeral was up for Alternative Album of the Year, but that could also be dubbed Critic's Album of the ...

An Asthmatic Kitty Compilation (Asthmatic Kitty). Review by Aaron Shaul.
... flavors and high quality songwriting throughout; one a writer can unequivocally recommend. Mews Too is one of those discs. Indie folk's golden boy Sufjan Steven's label Asthmatic Kitty is home to a good number of weird, cartoonish folk outfits and is friends with a great many more. A listener would ...

It Wouldn't Be What It Is (Soundsfamilyre). Review by Randall J. Stephens.
... -dial gospel round-up label. (Soundsfamilyre is shaping up to be quite interesting, including bizarro pop act Half-Handed Cloud, droid-jazz flavored Sufjan Stevens, and lo-fi Bible jammers Soul Junk.) Whereas Danielson Famile is less concerned with accessibility than, say, a Jim O'Rourke sponsored Holiness ...

... Post 436 The title and corresponding cover art of Daniel G. Harmann's latest album lend themselves to being the 2004 atmospheric equivalent of Sufjan Stevens's Greetings From Michigan…. The album fulfills this expectation to a certain degree; Harmann has the plaintive, yearning singer/songwriter vibes ...

Dewdrops (Livewire). Review by Aaron Shaul.
... of separation between similar artists. Of course, Allen's aping doesn't stop at Smith but continues through to George Harrison ("If You Leave") and Sufjan Stevens ("Better Than I Know" and "Prodigal Son"). Only "Steven's Song" really feels like a comfortable, non-derivative fit, its soaring horns harkening ...

Be Careful What You Call Home (Home Tapes). Review by Aaron Shaul.
... night spent staring at the stars. In the end, Be Care What You Call Home ends up embodying those rural places, both rustic and shambolic, it seems Sufjan Stevens is aiming for on his state documents. And while the grandeur of Stevens' songwriting continues to build, Duncan's more elegant and gentle ...
