Sufjan Stevens - Javelin

€33,95
Format
An ambitious, moving and deeply enthralling return. He really can touch like no other.
Currently good stock Limited stock Currently unavailable
Each track on Javelin starts intimately: the trickle of an acoustic guitar, the patter of a lidded piano, and the cascade of a coruscant arpeggio. And then, of course, there is that disarming voice, the throughline in one of the most eclectic catalogs of any songwriter this century—soft but strong, as if the very scenes of hurt and hope it is about to share have only galvanized it through the decades. Javelin pairs musical sweep with emotional breadth, an entire lifetime of feeling woven into 42-minutes. On Javelin, Sufjan, as you may know him best, returns: offering gorgeous if pained glimpses of himself, so that we may see ourselves more fully.

Javelin is accompanied by a 48-page book of art and essays all created by Stevens, including a series of meticulous collages, cut-up catalog fantasies, puff-paint word clouds, and iterative color fields. The 10 short essays - alternatively funny, tragic, poignant, obtuse, and specific - offer little glimpses into loves and losses that have shaped him, and, in turn, these songs.

Sufjan Stevens - Javelin

€33,95
   
"...draws on his entire catalog, his dazzling musicality, and his lifelong inquiries about love and devotion."
8.6
 
                             
"Javelin provides irrefutable proof that for all of his wild stylistic leaps and gifts for elaborate grand gestures, Sufjan Stevens’ most remarkable talents lay in emotionally resonant songwriting that really does not require many extra trimmings or gimmicks to move the listener to the core."
