Sufjan Stevens Announces New Album Javelin

Idiosyncratic indie legend Sufjan Stevens has unveiled the news of his 10th solo album. Javelin, forthcoming on October 6 via Asthmatic Kitty. It’s his latest foray in a scattered grouping of primarily singer-songwriter focused LPs, which have seen the artist gain mass acclaim for his evocative, heart-wrenching storytelling style. Lead single “So You Are Tired” is typical Stevens at his most poignant, compassionate and searching with a relentless introspective streak. As insistent on painful honesty as always, Stevens paints a picture of departure that, while ambiguous, hits home with a searing specificity.

Alongside Javelin‘s release comes a 48-page book of art and essays created meticulously by Stevens to spell out the half-century long journey that has led him to this latest work.

Listen to “So You Are Tired” and check out Javelin‘s album artwork and tracklist below.
