    "Seven Swans" is as a graceful tour de force of an album - beguiling, bewitching and beautiful.

    I'm having trouble putting it into words how beautiful this album is. The banjo has never sounded so soothing and Sufjan's voice is so entrancing. The music just keeps getting better too; the transfiguration might be the most gorgeous thing my ears have ever experienced.… Expand
