About the Album:
Plastic: The Album tells the story of the novel through a cycle of dynamic art-pop songs, featuring lyrics from the musical numbers in the book. The artist Stranger Cat (a frequent collaborator of Sufjan Stevens) stars on the album, singing in the voice of Erin James, the novel’s plastic protagonist.
The album grew out of a collaboration between Scott and the visionary artist Cindertalk (My Brightest Diamond, Son Lux), as well as the Grammy-winning producer Peter Katis (The National, Sharon Van Etten, Interpol).
