Singer Songwriter

Sufjan Stevens is an American singer-songwriter, born on July 1, 1975 in Detroit, Michigan. With his unique blend of folk and indie pop, he has captivated audiences worldwide with his heartfelt lyrics and mesmerizing melodies.
Stevens began his musical journey at a young age, learning to play multiple instruments including the guitar, piano, and banjo. His passion for music led him to pursue a career in songwriting and performing.
Over the years, Stevens has released numerous critically acclaimed albums that showcase his versatility as an artist. From introspective ballads to upbeat anthems, each song tells a story that resonates with listeners on a deep level.

Asthmatic Kitty was established in 1999 by a community of musicians in Holland, Michigan. Originally created as a platform for releasing their own material, the label has since expanded and now has offices in Lander, Wyoming, Indianapolis, Indiana and New York City. Today, Asthmatic Kitty is distributed through Secretly Canadian in collaboration with Sounds Familyre.

The unique name 'Asthmatic Kitty' originated from a veterinarian's reference to 'asthma kitties' during an examination of Sara, a stray cat that one of the label founders had rescued. This quirky name stuck and eventually became the identity of the label.

With its diverse roster of talented artists and performers, Asthmatic Kitty continues to be at the forefront of independent music. The label's commitment to showcasing innovative and boundary-pushing music has earned it a reputation as an influential force within the industry. Whether you're searching for captivating melodies or thought-provoking lyrics, Asthmatic Kitty offers a rich catalog that will satisfy any music enthusiast's cravings.

Albums of the Year 2023

Each track on&nbsp;Javelin&nbsp;starts intimately: the trickle of an acoustic guitar, the patter of a lidded piano, and the cascade of a coruscant arpeggio. And then, of course, there is that disarming voice, the throughline in one of the most eclectic catalogs of any songwriter this century - soft but strong, as if the very scenes of hurt and hope it is about to share have only galvanized it through the decades.&nbsp;Javelin&nbsp;pairs musical sweep with emotional breadth, an entire lifetime of feeling woven into 42-minutes. On&nbsp;Javelin, Sufjan, as you may know him best, returns: offering gorgeous if pained glimpses of himself, so that we may see ourselves more fully. This album is classic Sufjan. A must own.
