Sufjan Stevens’ highly anticipated new album, Carrie & Lowell, is set for release on March 31, 2015, and earlier today he released the album’s very first single entitled “No Shade In The Shadow Of The Cross”. Carrie & Lowell is Sufjan’s first new album in five years, and was named after his mother and stepfather. For Sufjan, the record became an exploration into “life and death, love and loss, and [his] struggle to make sense of the beauty and ugliness of love.” You can pre-0rder your own copy of Carrie & Lowell at AsthmaticKitty.com, and check out the album’s trailer below.
