It's a new collaborative album...

*Sufjan Stevens* and *Angelo De Augustine* will release collaborative album 'A Beginner's Mind' on September 24th.

The two are old friends, and decamped to upstate New York a few months back, using a friend's cabin for a writing sabbatical.

The pair would find focus, write, and then watch a move to unwind, with this pattern helping to shape their creativity.

New album 'A Beginner's Mind' dates from this period, with each of the 14 songs corresponding to a film.

Each song was constructed in tandem - one would take a verse, the other a chorus - with the results dubbed as “rambling philosophical inquiry”.

From the *zen-referencing* title to the final results, 'A Beginner's Mind' seems to reach out to more sublime plateaus than its origins would suggest.

New songs 'Reach Out' and 'Olympus' are online now - tune in below.
