![]() (Fans of The National might be interested to know that guitarist Bryce Dessner produced that little-heard album.) There will be plenty of material for him to draw on: Carrie Stevens died when he was a young boy after having suffered years of mental health problems while Lowell Brams was a co-founder of Stevens' label, Asthmatic Kitty, and collaborated with his stepson on the instrumental album Music For Insomnia. Named after his mother and stepfather, the album promises to weave aspects of Stevens' turbulent childhood into deeply personal songs. ![]() 'No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross' - a short and quietly devastating single built around a softly strummed acoustic guitar and the tenderest of vocals - offers a tantalising glimpse into what could be one of the key albums of 2015. One of the most eccentric and brilliant US songwriters of his generation, the Detroit native will release Carrie & Lowell on March 27. ![]() And just a few days earlier, there was similar glee among discerning music fans when Sufjan Stevens announced he would be bringing out a new album. Blur got a lot of people very excited last week with the news they will soon release their first album in 12 years.
