About
A few years removed from his Oscar-nominated work on 2017’s <i>Call Me by Your Name</i>, Sufjan Stevens turns to film for inspiration on this collaborative concept LP with LA singer-songwriter Angelo De Augustine. Working together in upstate New York, the two would watch a movie in the evening, then write a song in response the next morning, employing the sort of quiet arrangements and pristine melodies that mark their work as solo artist. It’s an ode to maintaining an open mind (or <i>shoshin</i>, the Zen Buddhist term whose English translation is the album’s title), Stevens and De Augustine as eager to engage with horror films and commercial blockbusters as they would artier fare—from <i>All About Eve</i> to <i>Hellraiser III</i>, <i>Bring It On Again</i> to <i>Point Break</i> and <i>Wings of Desire</i>. .
