Sufjan Stevens Ascension

"[F]ull of poetic despair set against the experimental, electronic beats and wispy melodies that have defined much of Stevens' music. That balance of beauty and bleakness also anchors another centerpiece, the crunchy 'Death Star'..."
"[A] powerful dissection of modern humanity....THE ASCENSION takes a weary look at the outside world and out comes a deep sigh."
Clash (Magazine) - "A spiritual cross-examination, THE ASCENSION sees Stevens turn out his struggles of faith, false prophets and the burden of the believer."
