Sufjan Stevens and stepfather Lowell Brams have shared euphoric new track "Climb That Mountain" from their forthcoming collaborative LP Aporia.

"Climb That Mountain" is the third track to be lifted from Aporia, after previous offerings "The Runaround" and "The Unlimited".

Aporia was created over several years during Brams' visits to Stevens' New York home. Stevens says of the process, "You know how it is with jamming: ninety percent of it is absolutely horrible, but if you’re just lucky enough, ten percent is magic. I just kept pulling out these little magical moments."

The album will also include contributions from Thomas Bartlett (Doveman), D.M. Stith, Nick Berry (Dots Will Echo), John Ringhofer (Half-handed Cloud) drummer and longtime collaborator James McAlister, keyboardist and trombonist Steve Moore (Sunn O)))), guitarist Yuuki Matthews (The Shins), and vocalist Cat Martino.

Aporia will be Stevens' first album since releasing The Decalogue score in October 2019.

"Climb That Mountain" is out now. Sufjan Stevens and Lowell Brams' Aporia album is released 27 March, and is available to pre-order now.
