Originally released in 2004, 'Seven Swans' is a beautiful set of confessional folk songs from Sufjan Stevens. A subtle treasure sandwiched in between his states (2003’s ‘Michigan’ and 2005’s 'Illinois').
“a record of remarkable delicacy” - The Guardian

A wonderful package - as we are sure you'll agree - to celebrate this wonderful album.
The folk songs of Sufjan’s ‘Seven Swans’ occupy a singular space in his catalogue. The quiet, psalm-like music arrived less than a year after his 2003 breakthrough album, ‘Michigan’ and his much-publicized announcement to write an album for each of the 50 states. Just as wider audiences were becoming acquainted with the ever-evolving artist—who had, by this point, released a lo-fi folk-pop collage (2000’s ‘A Sun Came’), a Zodiac-inspired electronic suite (2001’s ‘Enjoy Your Rabbit’), and a grand, orchestral epic to kickstart his exploration of the country (‘Michigan’)—he re-introduced himself in hushed tones.
