Sufjan Stevens Sufjan Stevens (Detroit, 1975) es, sin lugar a dudas, el artista más reconocido de la corriente neo-folk de los Estados Unidos. Sus canciones recogen un universo fantástico y mítico, donde dragones, brujas, el cielo y el infierno dan forma a sus letras. Stevens comenzó su carrera musical en una banda folk llamada Marzuki, originaria de Holland, Michigan. A su vez, formaba (y forma parte) de Danielson Famile, tocando varios instrumentos. Mientras aun estudiaba en la universidad, escribió y grabó su primer álbum, A Sun Came, bajo Asthmatic Kitty Records, compañía discográfica fundada por su padrastro. Tras mudarse a Nueva York, compuso y grabó su segundo disco, Enjoy Your Rabbit, un LP más electrónico y con una temática centrada en el zodiaco chino. Su siguiente trabajo, Michigan (o «Greetings from Michigan the Great Lake State»), sería el primero de su ambicioso proyecto de 50 álbumes con temática de cada uno de los estados de los Estados Unidos.
The Milk Carton Kids //deka7ta The BQE Sufjan Stevens is proud to present The BQE, a cinematic suite inspired by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and the Hula-Hoop. Commissioned by Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), The BQE was originally performed in the Howard Gilman Opera House in celebration of the 25th anniversary Next Wave Festival in October of 2007. The Brooklyn-Queens Expressway is an incidental 12.7 miles of urban roadway built over the course of several decades (1939-1964), spear-headed by the master architect Robert Moses to accommodate for the increase of commercial and commuter traffic in New York City's outer boroughs. The official album release of The BQE follows nearly two years after its original performance at BAM, providing the songwriter (and his various collaborators) ample time to wrestle out all the thematic incarnations of the project, and to attempt an appropriation of Wagner's Gesamtkunstwerk ("total work"). A fully colored version of the comic book is available separately.

But as the project began to develop into an unwieldy epic, common sense weighed in—as did the opinions of others—and the project was cut in half. But as 2005 came to a close, Sufjan returned to the old, forsaken songs on his 8-track like a grandfather remembering his youth, indulging in old journals and newspaper clippings. What he uncovered went beyond the merits of nostalgia; it was more like an ensemble of capricious friends and old acquaintances wearing party outfits, waiting to be let in at the front door, for warm drinks and interesting conversation. Among them were Saul Bellow, Ann Landers, Adlai Stevenson, and a brief cameo from Henry Darger's Vivian Girls. The gathering that followed would become the setting for the songs on The Avalanche: Outtakes and Extras from the Illinois Album.
