The Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens – Indie Folk/Electronica. A strangely weighted album as the final song takes up over a third of the overall album’s time. It follows the usual Stevens’ trademarks. Whispered, feather light vocal, orchestras and finger picked guitar. However, there is a huge amount of electronica influences throughout this album, and some almost dance like influences in a couple of songs. It’s complex and heavy. An album that will reward with repeated listens…in fact the final 25 minute long song could be an album within itself. TWH: Futile Devices; Too Much; Now That I’m Older

Grade: B
