Just started to listen to this album recently. And today there is this report from NPR.
Sufjan Stevens personally shot the movie too, as far as I understand. I haven’t seen the movie, just the trailer. It is definitely a very contemporary piece. This is kind of a work that comes out of such normal life: the traffic on a very old expressway. He is definitely very talented music writer. His work is becoming more and more “classical” and also, Osso redid his Enjoy your Rabbit album, which has 12 songs based on the Chinese zodiac. Osso is a quartet and the album Run Rabbit Run, is very interestingly classical style as well.
I used to give ratings of albums on my blog. But I guess at least this time I am not ready to rate this album.
