Michigan [2LP] Vinyl
Sufjan Stevens’ Michigan is more than just an album—it’s an intimate, orchestral love letter to the Great Lakes State. Originally released in 2003, this sprawling 2LP release unfolds like a sonic scrapbook, capturing the beauty, melancholy, and quiet resilience of middle America with Stevens’ signature baroque-pop flair.
Each track reads like a chapter in a richly detailed travelogue. “Detroit, Lift Up Your Weary Head!” pulses with industrial grit and gospel flourishes, while “Holland” floats with melancholic grace and layered harmonies. The quietly devastating “For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti” showcases Stevens at his most tender, blending banjo, piano, and hushed vocals into something timeless and sacred.
Pressed across two LPs, this edition gives the lush arrangements—horns, strings, choirs, and all—the space they need to breathe and shine. From the jubilant to the introspective, Stevens explores themes of identity, faith, loss, and hope, all anchored in Michigan’s towns and histories.
Michigan isn’t just an album—it’s a deeply personal cartography of place and emotion. This 2LP version allows listeners to fully immerse themselves in Sufjan’s world, where geography meets soul, and every corner of the state sings. A must-have for fans of thoughtful, cinematic songwriting.
