Sufjan Stevens & Lowell Brams - Aporia

ASTHMATIC KITTY - AKR137LP

Black Vinyl

Aporia is a New Age album from Sufjan Stevens and his step-father 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.
