About
The hushed, acoustic textures of Stevens' 2015 album, <i>Carrie & Lowell</i>, marked his return to indie folk. <i>The Greatest Gift</i> offers <i>Carrie & Lowell</i> remixes, demos, and outtakes that simultaneously illuminate the album's genesis and create a parallel-universe version. As fascinating as it is to hear a fragile, acoustic-based track like "Drawn to the Blood" reimagined with sweeping, pulsing electronic textures, it's equally intriguing to encounter spare, unvarnished demos of "John My Beloved" and "Carrie & Lowell," not to mention outtakes that stand tall alongside the original cuts.
