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.

Sister Crayon - (In) Reverse
and all this music inside my head, just keeps on playing in reverse… it’s so easy to get distracted
Sister Crayon - Every Third Hour
Sister Crayon - I’m Still The Same Person
How am I just hearing of this band now? Just what I needed, another favourite band that no one has ever heard of…but add this to your list if you haven’t already.
They sort of remind me of a mix of Land of Talk and Wye Oak.
