Sufjan Stevens, Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly and James McAlister have announced details of their collaborative album, ‘Planetarium’.
The project, which has its roots in work commissioned for Muhly by Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, is set to arrive on June 9 through 4AD and will run to 17 tracks. Check out a video for one of them, Saturn, below.
Discussing revisiting the music in 2016, several years after it was last performed, Stevens said: “We had recorded all the arrangements and the live parts in a studio after our last performance, so years later when we all kind of settled down, we said: ‘Let’s open Pandora’s box.’”
