#11 Sufjan Stevens — q's top 20 albums of 2015
Sufjan Stevens takes the #11 spot on q's annual list of must-hear albums.
All month, we've been counting down the 20 top albums of 2015 — our annual list of must-hear albums.
Sufjan Stevens takes the #11 spot with Carrie & Lowell, his first solo album in five years. Normally, such a long gap is a career risk, but Shad notes that Steven's ambitious, creative, carefully-crafted music is worth waiting for.
His latest record is strikingly spare for an artist known for big, beautiful arrangements. It's a delicate and pared down celebration of his late mother — a personal, poignant and captivating listen from start to finish.
