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.

The Avalanche is not just a B-sides record; it's actually a mirror image, with 21 tracks that loosely follow *Illinois-- * including the suspenseful intro, the fast, pulsing second track, the quizzical segues, the interminable song titles, and the gradual instrumental send-off. The mood is gentler and more acoustic; the title track harkens back to the banjo-led introspection of Seven Swans, and the last ballad, "Pittsfield", has the cozy tunefulness of a chicken soup jingle. But for most of the disc, Stevens brings back the statewide namechecks and the "Illinoisemakers" marching band arrangements.
