Carrie & Lowell 10th Anniversary Blue and White Double Vinyl
This has been opened only to verify the correct edition was sent. It will ship in the original box from Asthmatic Kitty (the individual lyric postcard that comes with each set is still attached to outer box).
About the release (copy & paste):
This May, Asthmatic Kitty Records celebrates the ten-year anniversary of Carrie & Lowell with an expanded double-LP album that includes seven previously unreleased bonus tracks, a 40-page art book, and a new essay by Sufjan Stevens. The deluxe edition also offers an alternative cover: a full-framed version of the original Polaroid zoomed out to reveal the photo’s caption written in a child’s handwriting—“Carrie & Lowell”—disclosing the source of the album title (it was written by Sufjan’s sister Djamilah). The new edition was designed by Sufjan himself: the 40-page booklet contains various collages of vintage family photos spanning four generations interfused with artwork and drawings (on themes of death, dying, grief and the state of Oregon) as well as landscape photos Sufjan took while travelling across the western U.S. over a decade ago.
The original album is preserved on disc one, while disc two contains 40 minutes of extras, including demo versions of “Death With Dignity,” “Should Have Known Better,” “The Only Thing,” and “Eugene”. Expansive outtakes of “Fourth of July” and “Wallowa Lake Monster” are also included, both featuring a more cinematic mood. The final gem is the original demo of “Mystery of Love”, which was recorded around the same time as Carrie & Lowell. This song was scrapped for the album but later re-worked and re-recorded for Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name.
The double LP is available on semi-transparent violet vinyl at retail stores worldwide and on blue and white custom color mix vinyl exclusively in the AKR store.
