You’re not gonna believe this, but I am doing this post midway on my trip/drive up to Binghamton. I stopped off with my family at the Roscoe Diner, which is about an hour away from Binghamton. My mom’s taking a 15 minute nap, so I figured I’d pop open the laptop and test out my internet connection. Sure enough, it works, and quite well. Oh what I do out of love for ya’ll! I read on twitter that there was a new Sufjan song, just as I left my house, so I was quite pissed. Well, now I’m able to bust out a quick post.
Anyway, here is the stuff you really came here for:
Yesterday Sufjan announced that he has a new album called The Age of Adz coming out on October 12. Little did any of us know that he would follow up such explosive news with a free mp3 of a song from the album. The song is called “I Walked” and god damn Sufjan, you’re too good. This is quite different from the material we got on Illinois, and I”m all for it. Sufjan experiments with a more electronic based sound, and it’s damn good. His voice is practically made for any sound, but it really suites this dreamy electronic soundscape that he has built. It’s beautifully uplifting, emotionally gripping, and anthematic. In other words, its an ultimate Sufjan Stevens song. I’m already in love.
Can October 12th come any sooner? Not if he keeps delighting us with stuff like this an the All Delighted People EP.
