Illinois (2005) was intended as the second of a planned 50-album US state series; only Michigan and Illinois were completed.
Wrote the score for the 2017 ballet The Decalogue with Timo Andres and Conor Hanick — the LTZ-collab track "Reflexion" comes from this circle of work.
Javelin was his first fully self-performed singer-songwriter album since Carrie & Lowell (2015).
