Limited Edition 1LP Yellow Vinyl!

"Aporia" is a new age album by Sufjan Stevens and his stepfather, musical collaborator and Asthmatic Kitty Records co-founder, Lowell Brams. In the spirit of new-age composers, "Aporia" approaches a rich soundtrack from an imaginary sci-fi epic brimming with moody, hooky, razor-thin synthesizer soundscapes. The album may recall the descendants of a marriage between John Carpenter, Wendy Carlos and Mike Oldfield, but it breaks away from those reference points and creates a meditative universe all of its own. "Aporia" is no mere oddity in Sufjan Stevens' catalog - but a fully realized collaborative piece of music and a catchy yet inspired album. Stevens and Brams recorded "Aporia" over the years during Brams' visits to Stevens' New York home with the help of a variety of longtime Asthmatic Kitty collaborators, including Thomas Bartlett (Doveman), DM Stith, Nick Berry (Dots Will Echo), John Ringhofer (Half-Handed Cloud) drummer and longtime collaborator James McAlister, keyboardist and trombonist Steve Moore (Sunn O))), guitarist Yuuki Matthews (The Shins) and vocalist Cat Martino.
