Sufjan Stevens – Greetings From Michigan The Great Lake State (2LP) [NEW]

Sufjan Stevens' third studio album, released in 2003 (commonly known as "Michigan") A grand concept album dedicated entirely to his home state of Michigan, the record is richly coloured with real towns and natural landmarks—from Flint and Ypsilanti to Detroit and Tahquamenon Falls. The music relies on hypnotically repeating motifs played on a rich array of acoustic instruments: glockenspiels, xylophones, pianos, and banjos. This approach paints a kaleidoscopic soundscape reminiscent of Steve Reich's minimal music, while the warm, rustic timbres of the instruments evoke Celtic traditions and the festive joy of European folk music. What makes this record all the more extraordinary is that these complex arrangements were crafted almost entirely by Sufjan himself through a intimate, home-recording approach. It is an exquisitely detailed, dramatic universe of sound that you can comfortably lose yourself in. —— About new imported products (records, books) There may be minor scratches or bends, corner damage, partial tears in outer bags and shrink wrap that do not affect the main product, and ink transfer due to pressing or printing at the time of shipment, all of which are a result of international shipping.
