Today marks 5 years since @sufjan released his eighth studio album ‘The Ascension’ through Asthmatic Kitty on September 25, 2020.

An album influenced by a diverse range of artists - including Janet Jackson’s album ‘Rhythm Nation’ and Ariana Grande and her track “Thank U, Next” - ‘The Ascension’ showcased Sufjan’s exploration into electronic and pop territories.

To mark this milestone, The Ascension LP is available for $20 at the AKR store today—$8 off the regular price.

We’ve also curated a special playlist featuring all tracks from ‘The Ascension’ alongside the songs that helped inspire the album. Experience the creative journey from the influence to the final work.
