Seven Swans is a starkly intimate collection of songs, stripped down to acoustic guitar, piano, and Stevens's hushed vocals. It was recorded during a period of intense personal and spiritual searching, resulting in an album of raw, unvarnished faith and doubt.
- The album was primarily recorded in a single week in June 2001 at Stevens\'s apartment in Brooklyn, New York.
- Seven Swans was released on Stevens\'s own record label, Sounds Familyre.
- The album\'s release date was delayed multiple times, eventually coming out in 2004, not 2007 as stated in the prompt.
Sufjan Stevens is a singer-songwriter from Michigan, known for his ambitious concept albums exploring American history and spirituality. Seven Swans was released early in his career, between his Illinois and Michigan albums, and is often seen as a more introspective and experimental work in his discography.
