Sufjan Stevens' new release, Javelin, has provoked William Dart to a week of deep immersion in the American's earlier music to find out just where his new elegiac songs fit in.
And as a counteragent against the generally forlorn mood, he ends the programme with a selection of Stevens' Christmas songs.
