In addition to the two other great albums currently streaming, the pick of the litter is the eponymous new album from Sisyphus (Sufjan Stevens, Son Lux, and Serengeti).  We’ve been enamored by this amalgam since we first heard about it.  Sisyphus has begun streaming its self-titled debut album, which will be released on March 18th on Asthmatic Kitty.  We love the intelligence and breadth of the entire album.  Listen to the trio’s superb avant-hip/hop-experimental-soul melange below.  About the project, Stevens has said:  “We have so little in common but we have deep love for each other and we are pushing that stone together.”  Advisory:  there will be “obscenities.”

At bottom, check out a new Stevens-endorsed video featuring Sisyphus’s affecting booze track Alcohol.  The song and video may be more effective than an Al-Anon meeting.  Add that to Kendrick Lamar’s Swimming Pools (Drank) and Al-Anon has two powerful new songs at their disposal.

You can also stream the album over at CBC HERE.
