Sufjan Stevens – Illinois (2LP)

Sufjan Stevens – Illinois (2LP)

Released in 2005, Illinois is Sufjan Stevens’ fifth studio album and one of the most celebrated records of the decade. Part of his ambitious fifty states project, it takes the state of Illinois as its subject — its history, mythology, landscapes and people — and transforms them into something deeply personal and musically extraordinary.

Orchestral folk at its most ambitious, the album weaves together chamber strings, banjo, brass, woodwinds and electronics into arrangements of remarkable intricacy and warmth. Chicago, Casimir Pulaski Day, John Wayne Gacy Jr. and The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us! are among the finest songs Stevens has ever written. A record of genuine greatness.
