As Sulfjan Stevens gears up to release Carrie & Lowell, his fifth studio album, he's released the second single on YouTube. Listen to "Should Have Known Better" above. This is the follow up to "No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross".
The singer-songwriter is one of the most versatile people in music. He can write a full folk record as well as a full electronic record. In this particular tune, he starts off with a very soft and touching acoustic guitar progression. In the latter half, he gets electronic in a Postal Service kind of way. It's the perfect track to listen to after a long day's work.
Carrie & Lowell is due out on on March 31st. Pick it up on Amazon (Vinyl, CD, MP3).
