Sufjan Stevens is the definition of an eclectic musician. His career spans from lo-fi Christian folkiness to epic indie-pop bangers to anxiety ridden electronica freakouts to ambient meditations. He does it all. On this episode, Shannon and Nick are joined by another married couple, Cow and Clare Shea to dive into what makes Sufjan such a captivating and emotional artist. They talk about what made his unrealistic 50 states project so interesting, how he creates his own folk tales, and how he captures the human condition. There are some real sad moments, but life is full of sad moments, and Sufjan is all about exploring the complexity of life.
