Sufjan Stevens animates new visuals for Planetarium single "Venus"

"Venus" links up with "Mercury" and "Saturn" to tease the full Planetarium project/record/suite. It's accompanied by vibrant visuals animated by Stevens himself.

The full project is described as "part rock odyssey, part electronic experiment, part classical opus... [which] revolves around the cosmic ideas Stevens’ lyrics explore: mythology, astrology, science, astronomy and the intricacies of human consciousness."

Stevens, Muhly, McAlister, and Dessner will unite on 10 July at the Philharmonie de Paris with strings and brass for a full performance of the project. Find out more.
