Carrie and Lowell (2015)
Madelyn Dewey
Ultimate sadboi Sufjan Stevens released an album on March 31 of 2015 titled Carrie and Lowell, a highlight of the decade and perhaps one of the best albums of all time. Stevens uses the sweet trill of his banjo and hum of an acoustic guitar to accompany enigmatic lyrics about his youth and parents.
Carrie and Lowell is often described by critics as the most personal of the singer’s albums to date. If you plan to explore this masterpiece, notable songs to listen to are “Should Have Known Better” and “Death with Dignity,” though every song carries its own significance.
