Sufjan Stevens’ new album, The Age of Adz, is a big, complicated, ambitious, conceptual album—even by his (partially) established “50 States” standards. Luckily, last night at the Paramount, he was happy to explain.
“These new songs are songs of heartache, heart sickness, disease, and mental illness, all rendered through the lens of apocalypse, the end of the world. Because there’s no healthier way to view love-sickness than through the myths and standardizations of the end of the world. I know it’s a little dramatic…but it pays the bills.”
