In the aftermath of a devastatingly strange break up, my hazy mind and destroyed spirit needed some understanding, I heard from friends that Sufjan Stevens minimalist kinda self throwback album was drenched in self deprecating epic sadness and it did not fail to represent. The music is beautifully orchestrated folk and the lyrics are unhesitatingly bare, revealing very personal truths that make it easy to identify with, although it may not be the best album to play when you are in a great mood, but when you are down and feeling alone this record is exactly what you need.
