In 2023, Sufjan Stevens revealed his battle with Guillain-Barré syndrome and the loss of his partner, Evans Richardson IV. This marked a significant shift for the artist, known for his autobiographical songwriting yet renowned for his privacy. As he prepares to release the tenth-anniversary edition of his acclaimed album 'Carrie & Lowell,' Stevens reflects on his childhood and his mother's struggles with mental illness. The new edition includes previously unreleased demos and a heartfelt essay about his mother, bridging his personal narrative with his past musical works.
At this point, the people at Asthmatic Kitty were going to do something with or without my involvement, which nudged me to dig through archives and find demos.
The tenth-anniversary edition of Carrie & Lowell will feature a 40-page booklet of family photos, some previously unreleased demos, and a deeply personal essay from me about my mother.
