Seven Swans Reimagined

Posted: March 27th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Articles About Music | Tags: , , , , | 2 Comments »

Seven Swans, the legendary album from Sufjan Stevens is being “reimagined” by a collection of indie artists for charity.  All profits from the album will go to benefit the Susan G. Komen For The Cure breast cancer foundation.  The project was organized and put together by an independent compilation company, On Joyful Wings.  They got 15 different and unique artists, ranging from Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy to Joshua James to The David Crowder Band, to deliver their own re-working of one of the Swans songs.  I think the song I am most looking forward to hearing is Derek Webb’s interpretation of “In the Devil’s Territory.”  The album will be released next Tuesday, the 29th.   You can pre-order it here.

    ‘Seven Swans’ was not Sufjan’s debut album. It was his 4th. ‘A Sun Came’, ‘Enjoy Your Rabbit’ and ‘Michigan’ were his first three.
