Limited First-Run Yellow Vinyl LP!
Aporia is a New Age album from Sufjan Stevens and his stepfather and record label co-owner, Lowell Brams. In the spirit of the New Age composers who sanded off the edges of their synths' sawtooth waves, Aporia approximates a rich soundtrack from an imagined sci-fi epic brimming with moody, hooky, gauzy synthesizer soundscapes. The album may suggest the progeny of a John Carpenter, Wendy Carlos and Mike Oldfield marriage, but it stands apart from these touchstones and generates a meditative universe all its own. This is no mere curio in the Sufjan Stevens catalog - but a fully realized collaborative musical piece.
Sufjan Stevens is one of the most prolific and aboslutely gifted American songwriters of the 21st century.
Stevens remains at the height of his powers - capable of work as individual, compassionate and powerful as any American composer working today.
