Sufjan Stevens: A Sun Came
Label: Asthmatic Kitty
Where it all began … the first recordings of Sufjan Stevens, back when he was a member of the folk group Marzuki. Recorded on four track, the album overcomes its lo-fi sound with sheer ambition, revealing Stevens’s talents as a multi-instrumentalist (he plays 14 instruments on it and touches on a number of genres, from folk to Celtic to Middle Eastern music) as well as a storyteller. A Sun Came was first released in 2000, then rereleased on his Asthmatic Kitty label in 2004 with three bonus tracks.
