Library Catalog Music Series: Music For Insomnia

Lowell Brams was raised in West Alexandria and Dayton, Ohio. He met Sufjan Stevens in Detroit, Michigan, in 1976, but Sufjan was eleven months old and doesn't remember it. After Lowell and Sufjan's mother married, they re-met in 1980 in Eugene, Oregon, have been friends since then, and started Asthmatic Kitty together in 1998. They are both insomniacs, the theme Sufjan suggested for this album. Music for Insomnia was written and performed by Lowell Brams, Sufjan Stevens, and Bryce Dessner (The National).
