Sufjan Stevens
Greetings From Michigan (Spotify listing has this album titled as "Michigan" while Discogs has the addendum "The Great Lakes State" and I'm not even sure what's official here)
scum stats: this is the Great Lakes Blues Third Man Edition variant. I think we're not telling people how many copies we made?
Crazy to think it's been twenty years since this one dropped. I most definitely felt inspired by this record (and LCD Soundsystem's "New York I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down") to make my own Detroit-centered album "I Remember When All This Was Trees." So this one holds a special place in my heart as the genesis of an idea that took me on a wild ride. Hopefully inspiration breeds more inspiration here.
Oh wow. Completely missed this! Such an incredible album from start to finish. ‘Redford…’ is a strikingly beautiful cut!
It sold out fast!!! I wanted it bad…………
