Sufjan Stevens, Nico Muhly, Bryce Dessner and James McAlister will perform 'Mercury', taken from their new collaborative album Planetarium, on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight.

Furthermore, the video for 'Neptune', the latest from the album, premieres today—watch it here or in the player below.  Planetarium is out now on 4AD.

Stevens, Muhly, Dessner and McAlister are in the midst of a limited run of special dates, accompanied onstage by strings and brass. Following a show at the Philharmonie de Paris, the band will play 18th July in New York at Celebrate Brooklyn!, 20th July in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery and 21st July at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA.

Planetarium, the first collaboration from the four musicians, unites Stevens’ vocals, McAlister’s beats, Dessner’s guitar performance, and Muhly’s instrumental compositions in a far-reaching musical journey: from lush piano ballads to rock anthems, classical cadenzas to electronic beats with Stevens’ distinctive vocals providing a center of gravity. The album revolves around the ideas Stevens’ lyrics explore: mythology, astrology, science, astronomy and the intricacies of human consciousness.

Planetarium is out now on 2xLP, CD and digitally.
