Originating as a live commission for a Dutch concert hall, this sprawling collaborative effort formally unites four prominent figures in modern classical and indie rock. The album is an ambitious, 75-minute exploration of the solar system, pairing sweeping orchestral arrangements and glitching electronics with Stevens's heavily auto-tuned reflections on Roman mythology and cosmic insignificance.
