It's been five years since
Sufjan Stevens released
The Age Of Adz. Five years before that,
Sufjan released
Illinois, so it only makes sense that he would choose this year to release his upcoming album,
Carrie & Lowell. Today, you can hear the first sampling of
Carrie & Lowell. "
No Shade In The Shadow Of The Cross" is the album's penultimate track and shows
Sufjan going back to a stripped down folk-oriented sound. Gone are the
Adz beats and electronic elements of
Enjoy Your Rabbit. Check it out below...
Carrie & Lowell is out on March 31, via
Asthmatic Kitty. There are still a few copies of the limited edition clear vinyl available for pre-order through independent record stores, so grab one while you can. I just snagged one yesterday! Hint:
go this way.

Carrie & Lowell, check out
Pitchfork's new feature, "
True Myth: A Conversation With Sufjan Stevens".
