Sisyphus (formerly S / S / S) is a collaborative project between Serengeti, Son Lux and Sufjan Stevens.[1]
History
The trio released their debut EP, Beak & Claw, on Anticon in 2012.[2] It features vocal contributions from Shara Worden and Doseone.[3] In 2013 the trio changed their name to Sisyphus.[4] In an interview, Stevens said, "S/S/S started to sound like the Nazi Schutzstaffel with a lisp, so we had to change it."[5] The name is inspired in part by the art of Jim Hodges, whose work is featured on the cover of their self-titled debut full-length album, which was released on March 18, 2014.[4] Stevens says the "gold and metallic boulders Jim made were an obvious influence on our name change"—a reference to four steel-clad boulders installed at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.[6] Sisyphus performed at opening of Hodges' retrospective at the Walker on February 14, 2014.[7]
