Coming five years after the electronic sprawl of The Age Of Adz, it strips his sound back to acoustic guitar, piano and close, hushed vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe album is named after his late mother, Carrie, who died in 2012, and his stepfather, Lowell Brams, who co-founded Asthmatic Kitty with him. Its songs return to childhood summers in Oregon and turn over grief, memory and faith with a directness that sets it apart from the state-by-state storytelling of Illinois.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eStevens produced it with Thomas Bartlett, recording through 2014 in studios across the US and even in hotel rooms, with Laura Veirs, Sean Carey and Casey Foubert among the players. Pat Dillett and Bartlett mixed it alongside Stevens, and Josh Bonati mastered the record and cut the lacquers for this pressing. 'No Shade In The Shadow Of The Cross', 'Should Have Known Better' and the title track were released as singles, and critics widely ranked it among his very best work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIf \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/juicyrecords.com.au\/products\/sufjan-stevens-illinoise-vinyl\"\u003eIllinois\u003c\/a\u003e is your way in, this is its quieter counterpart, and the two make a natural pair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46247377829973,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/7079\/7909\/files\/sufjan-stevens-carrie-and-lowell-vinyl-lp.jpg?v=1790745855","url":"https:\/\/juicyrecords.com.au\/products\/sufjan-stevens-carrie-lowell-vinyl-lp","provider":"Juicy Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
