Sufjan Stevens & Lowell Brams - Aporia

Aporia is a studio album by American indie folk musician Sufjan Stevens and his stepfather Lowell Brams, released in March 2020 via Asthmatic Kitty.

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 catalogue but a fully realized collaborative musical piece.
