Seven Swans (20th Anniversary Edition)
Asthmatic Kitty
Released in 2004 - the year we opened the doors of Resident - the disarming, hushed-folk tones of ‘Seven Swans’ were a constant on the shop stereo then, and have remained nestled in our hearts as we’ve watched our hero continue to grow as one of the most significant and influential artists of our time.
For Sufjan, ‘Seven Swans’ has remained a work in constant motion, something to revisit and reinvent at each stage in his evolution.
20-years after its initial release, it marks a definitive moment in his immaculate and diverse body of work. With an atmosphere that feels equally cozy and cosmic, the album is carried by the refined pluck of Stevens’ banjo and acoustic guitar, the confessional tug of his voice, the tension of his melodies, and the profound questions of devotion and doubt that drive his songwriting to this day.
“a record of remarkable delicacy” - The Guardian
“a consistently moving, subtly beautiful experience” - Billboard
