Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz (w/ guest Matt Cook)
The Great Albums - A podcast by The Great Albums - Mondays
Categories:
Singer-songwriter and piano rocker Matt Cook () joins Bill and Brian to discuss Sufjan Stevens' The Age of Adz (2010, Asthmatic Kitty). Matt shares his story about discovering this album as he recovered from a coma (yes, seriously, it's a wild story!) and how he was won over despite not enjoying it at first. We get into Royal Robertson's influence on the album, whether or not to tag Sufjan with the 'genius' label, reevaluating our lives when faced with our own mortality, just what synth makes those sounds, and more as we make our way through the album track by track!
