- The first album to garner Sufjan Stevens considerable acclaim and attention, 2003's GREETINGS FROM MICHIGAN finds the Great Lake State-born singer-songwriter offering up an endearing and accomplished set of chamber pop songs. Designated as the beginning of Stevens's proposed "50 States" project, MICHIGAN highlights the multi-instrumentalist's penchant for lush, inventive arrangements, which are ideally complemented by his hushed, easy-going vocals.
- Bearing true affection for his home state, Stevens opens the record with the delicate, melancholy "Flint (For the Unemployed and Underpaid)," followed by the chiming, Stereolab-like "All Good Naysayers! Speak Up! Or Forever Hold Your Peace!" The exclamation-mark-happy performer also shines on the spare, sleepy "Holland" and the vibrant orchestral mini-suite "Detroit, Lift Up Your Weary Head! (Rebuild! Restore! Reconsider!)," revealing a charmingly dynamic approach built upon a foundation of earnest indie-folk. With its mix of minimalism and majesty, MICHIGAN easily stands out as one of Stevens's finest albums, and serves as excellent introduction to the amiable and prodigiously talented artist.
Uncut (p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Great songs proliferate here, but what's most remarkable is how Stevens invests such a daunting project with so much emotional weight as well as sociological and geographical detail."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.110) - 4 stars out of 5 - "MICHIGAN revels in a broader musical palette and more upbeat mood than its follow-up....A pocket masterpiece..." Format: Vinyl (1 Disc) Release Date: 17 August, 2004 Label: Asthmatic Kitty Records
