Complex jazz chamber pop

Glass Dolls – EP [Self-Released]

Skullcap – Snakes of Albuquerque [Cuneiform]

Adventurous jazz rock

Sufjan Stevens – Carrie & Lowell (10th Anniversary Edition) [Asthmatic Kitty]
New York, NY        Rock/Pop
Chad told me Sufjan is embarrassed about this album and considers it a failure. It’s not but it’s so personal that such feelings make sense. Anyway, it’s beautifully sad and singable and puts you in the moments he shares with us. There are bonus demo tracks here but if you haven’t heard the original album you should.
