Sufjan Stevens – Celebrations

Here we are again. This time it's the penultimate Convocations album called Celebrations. At times, it reminds a bit of Radiohead's Kid A album. Other times, it sounds like a Brian Eno ambient record. There is a calmness about the smooth synth pads employed. Occasionally, you get some tinky winky sounds with delay like on track V.
