To Be Alone With You
Sufjan Stevens has stated his intention to record an album about every one of the 50 United States. He has already recorded and release Greetings from Michigan, about his home state, and Illinoise. Fortunately, his need for background material brings him to New York, and to the Thalia Music series at Symphony Space. A musician who plays over twenty instruments, and who is also a fiction writer, Stevens’ guitar-based folk rock places him squarely in the category of indie/pop/progressive folk/indie rock/singer-songwriter/chamber pop/lo-fi. Within the wide range of his interests and subject matter, Stevens’ music is tightly focused, intimate and melodic.
