Denison Witmer’s new single espouses a quiet life in a suitably hushed manner.

An artist from Sufjan Steven’s label takes us on a spiritual journey.

Stripped of his usual pomp, Sufjan’s latest explores his relationship with his troubled mother with grace, compassion, and brutal honesty.

A meticulously crafted album that straddles the lines between jazz, folk, and psychedelia.

“All Delighted People” contains some of the most ambitious music Sufjan has recorded to date, but it’s still just as heartfelt and poignant as ever.

I’ve heard most of the songs on here before, countless times. But I had never heard them like this, in such a sublime context.

There’s something infectious, toe-tapping, and even joyous about the album as a whole.

This album has been like a breath of fresh air for me, even bringing me close to tears during some of the more haunting passages.

Stevens’ love for crafting beautiful, complex arrangements is still in full effect.

Closer listening reveals that each song is a tiny world unto itself, full of its own intricate little details.

These songs are immediately compelling, perfectly rounded out, and though always brief, never feel truncated or half-done.

As poised and fully realized a debut as you’re ever likely to come across.

Criticizing John Ringhofer for making strange music is pointless because it’s obvious he has no intent to do otherwise.

90% of this comp is filled with beautiful, lo-fi treasures.

Sufjan Stevens displays a real knack for taking his arsenal of abstract sounds and letting them go wild without damaging his music’s integrity.
