Sufjan Stevens has announced his long-awaited follow-up to Carrie & Lowell. His new album, comprised of 15 new songs and accompanied by a 16-page booklet of his drawings, is called The Ascension, and it’s set for release on September 25 via Asthmatic Kitty Records. Check out the cover art and tracklist below.
