Sufjan Stevens: Indie Folk Hero's Heartfelt Album Tribute to Late Partner

Sufjan Stevens's latest album, Javelin, explores existential questions, desire, and heartbreak while showcasing a synthesis of his folk and electronic styles. The album starts with intimate songs that gradually build into grandiose, polyphonic crescendos. Stevens, who recently revealed he has Guillain-Barré syndrome, delivers another beautiful and introspective work that harkens back to his acclaimed album Carrie & Lowell.
