Rolling Stone
Quietly beautiful. ...more
PrefixMag
Known for elaborate, enterprising songwriting, Sufjan Stevens hasn't slowed down since his critically acclaimed 2003 releaseGreetings from Michigan. His fourth release,Seven Swans, is an overachieving attempt to somehow broaden his appeal to both ...more
