Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Carrie & Lowell is the seventh studio LP by American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sufjan Stevens, released on March 31, 2015. The album is autobiographical, dealing primarily with Stevens’ grieving process following the death of his mother, Carrie, in 2012.Carrie suffered from depression, schizophrenia, and addiction, and was absent through most of Sufjan’s childhood. Sufjan’s struggle to come to terms with their relationship and to forgive his mother for her abandonment while simultaneously mourning her loss forms the emotional core of the album.Meanwhile, the "Lowell" of the title refers to Carrie’s second husband and Sufjan’s stepdad, Lowell Brams, who served as a surrogate father for Sufjan and with whom he co-founded his record label, Asthmatic Kitty. (In 2020, the pair also released an instrumental New Age album they recorded together, entitled Aporia.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Stylistically, the album marked a return to the stripped-down indie folk Stevens was known for early in his career, but which he had increasingly moved away from with releases like Illinois (Baroque Pop) and The Age of Adz (Electronic Music). Carrie & Lowell features almost no percussion or symphonic elements, consisting instead of lo-fi guitar and keyboard-led songs with occasional understated electronic touches.Reception from both fans and critics was overwhelmingly positive; it is tied with 2005’s Illinois as Stevens' highest-rated studio album on Metacritic, and is the site's second-highest-rated album of its release year (after Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly, an album which, incidentally, includes a sample from Stevens' The Age of Adz).Stevens toured extensively following Carrie & Lowell’s release, performing dynamic rearrangements of the album’s songs with an accompanying video and light show. He subsequently released his first ever Live Album, Carrie & Lowell Live, in 2017. (This is currently his best-rated release on Metacritic, scoring one point higher than the studio version itself!) Stevens also put out a companion EP, The Greatest Gift Mixtape: Outtakes, Remixes, and Demos from Carrie & Lowell, the same year.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Tracklist: "Death with Dignity" (4:00) "Should Have Known Better" (5:08) "All of Me Wants All of You" (3:41) "Drawn to the Blood" (3:18) "Eugene" (2:26) note On the vinyl release, "Eugene" is positioned between "Carrie & Lowell" and "John My Beloved." "Fourth of July" (4:40) "The Only Thing" (4:44) "Carrie & Lowell" (3:14) "John My Beloved" (5:03) "No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross" (2:40) "Blue Bucket of Gold" (4:44) | |

Double Meaning: "No shade in the shadow of the cross", from the song of the same name, could refer to two opposite things: the narrator is either able to escape the ghost (i.e. shade) of his mother through religion, or he's unable to find relief in religion. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
Carrie & Lowell (Music) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The album ends with "Blue Bucket of Gold", in which Sufjan (after admitting his deep emotional wounds in "John My Beloved" and unsuccessfully attempting to heal them in "No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross") begins quietly moving on from his mother's death. He pleads for someone to fill the hole left with her departure, whether it be a friend or God, and the song ends with an ambient crescendo that, according to Sufjan, symbolizes him finally letting go and surrendering his mother to the beyond. | |

Downer Ending | |
Carrie & Lowell (Music) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: The album itself has more of a Bittersweet Ending (as discussed above), but most of the individual tracks end on dark notes: "Death with Dignity" ("You'll never see us again.") "Drawn to the Blood" (What did I do to deserve this now? / How did this happen?") "Eugene" ("What's the point of singing songs / If they'll never even hear you?") "Fourth of July" ("We're all gonna die.") "The Only Thing" ("Should I tear my heart out now? / Everything I feel returns to you somehow.") "Carrie & Lowell" ("Ephemera on my back / She breaks my arm.") "John My Beloved" ("There's only a shadow of me / In a matter of speaking I'm dead.") "No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross" ("There's no shade in the shadow of the cross.") | |

Minimalism / Three Chords and the Truth: C&L sees Sufjan at his most stripped-down, with minimum instrumentation, lo-fi production values, and a run time of well under an hour. In some ways this is about as far from Illinois as it gets. (The Live Album, on the other hand, reimagines several of the tracks in a much more bombastic way.) | |

Shout-Out: There are quite a few of them throughout the album, for example: "Death with Dignity" references the fable of the little Red Hen, wherein an industrious barnyard animal does all the hard work to make bread while the other animals laze around. The indifferent partner in "All of Me Wants All of You" is compared to Poseidon, the ancient Greek god of the sea. "Drawn to the Blood" references the myth of Samson and Delilah. "In the Shadow of the Cross" is a hymn by William J. Henry. | |

Happier Home Movie: On the Carrie & Lowell tour, a few of the songs use home movies as a backdrop, often in contrast to their sad tones. | |

Darkest Hour | |
Carrie & Lowell (Music) / int_f91d1d4f | comment |
Darkest Hour: During the downward spiral detailed on the album, "John My Beloved" is the start of his realization of what he has become, but "No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross" is where he fully hits rock bottom, noting how he has tried distracting himself from his emotions with unhealthy behaviors like sleeping around and drug abuse. | |
