A just-released trailer for Sufjan Stevens's upcoming tour features previously unheard music from his forthcoming album Carrie & Lowell. The much-anticipated album, Stevens's first since 2010's The Age of Adz, is named after Stevens's mother and stepfather and concerns, according to a press release, "life and death, love and loss, and the artist's struggle to make sense of the beauty and ugliness of love."

Carrie & Lowell will be released on March 31, and Stevens will be at Northrop on April 22.
