Sufjan Stevens & Lowell Brams - Aporia cuadro and melodic masteryAporia is a New Age album from Sufjan Stevens and his step father and record label co owner, Lowell Brams, brimming with moody, hooky, gauzy synthesizer soundscapes and created collaboratively in the spirit of the New Age composers who sanded off the edges of their synths sawtooth; Aporia is not a mere curio in the Sufjan Stevens catalog but a fully realized collaborative musical piece.
