Stevens, Sufjan & Lowell Brams - Aporia

NEW VINYL LP ON ASTHMATIC KITTY 2020

180 GRAM VINYL.

Stevens and Brams recorded Aporia over the course of the last several years during Brams’ visits to Stevens’ home in New York. Juxtaposing their approach for Music For Insomnia, Aporia find the collaborators intently shaping an appeasing, New Age-inspired album. After tracking hours of music, the pair began isolating the best moments and piecing them together into full songs. Stevens said of the process: “You know how it is with jamming: ninety percent of it is absolutely horrible, but if you’re just lucky enough, ten percent is magic. I just kept pulling out these little magical moments.”
