Be among the first to hear the seven new bonus tracks from Carrie & Lowell – 10th Anniversary Edition — two days before its release (May 28th) — at an in-store listening event! You’ll also have a chance to buy the deluxe LP or CD two days early. Admission is free and everyone who comes will receive a free poster featuring original artwork by Sufjan Stevens (while supplies last).
Asthmatic Kitty Records celebrates the ten-year anniversary of Carrie & Lowell with an expanded double-LP album that includes seven previously unreleased bonus tracks, a 40-page art book, and a new essay by Sufjan Stevens. The deluxe edition also offers an alternative cover: a full-framed version of the original Polaroid zoomed out to reveal the photo’s caption written in a child’s handwriting—“Carrie & Lowell”—disclosing the source of the album title (it was written by Sufjan’s sister Djamilah). The new edition was designed by Sufjan himself: the 40-page booklet contains various collages of vintage family photos spanning four generations interfused with artwork and drawings (on themes of death, dying, grief and the state of Oregon) as well as landscape photos Sufjan took while travelling across the western U.S. over a decade ago.
