Sufjan Stevens - Casmir Pulaski Day (live)
Sister Crayon - Futile Devices (Sufjan Stevens Cover)
Sister Crayon are a group based out of Sacramento led by vocalist Terra Lopez. The group have boldly covered a stripped back version of Sufjan Stevens’ (pictured) Futile Devices.
The original song was taken from Steven’s The Age of Adz album - An apocalyptic, transformative recording experience.
While it would be impossible to outdo Steven’s on his own song, Sister Crayon do an exceptional job covering the album opener. They also don’t stray too far from the original and keep with the songwriter’s subdues, introverted style.

Sufjan Stevens - That Was The Worst Christmas Ever!
Sufjan Stevens Christmas box set from a few years back remains my favorite indie Christmas tradition as an adult. The songs are somewhat melancholy to a degree, but they’ve captured my mood consistently during the holidays for years now.
