Seemingly bent on not repeating himself, Stevens scaled down Michigan's grandeur to a minimalist palette for \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeven Swans\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e (2004). \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhere the previous album was instrumentally comparable to Tortoise or Stereolab, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeven Swans\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is practically lo-fi, based around simply strummed acoustic guitars, banjo, organ, and hushed vocals. It's more akin to laconic Americana troubadours like Will Oldham and Iron \u0026amp; Wine, though no amount of sonic slimming-down can disguise Stevens's knack for crafty arrangements and accessibly quirky songs. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLike-minded spirit \u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Smith\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Danielson Family produced, and other Family members provide accompaniment that's considerably more structured than their own free-wheeling recordings. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1.  All The Trees Of The Field Will Clap Their Hands\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2.  The Dress Looks Nice On You\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3.  In The Devils Territory\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4.  To Be Alone With You\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5.  Abraham\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6.  Sister\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7.  Size Too Small\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8.  We Won't Need Legs To Stand\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9.  A Good Man Is Hard To Find\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10.
