Recent Sufjan Stevens News


Very good news for those of you who like Sufjan Stevens' music, as I do:

- Sufjan is going on tour in the fall and will be performing songs from Seven Swans, Michigan and Illinois with a "new symphonic context", which sounds really cool. Here's the full scoop.

- He is also releasing another CD next Tuesday! No, it's not state #3 of his idealistic dream of putting out a CD for each of the fifty states. (He better get working on a new state pretty soon, methinks.) It's called "The Avalanche" and it has 20 something tracks of songs recorded during the Illinois sessions. You can hear some of the songs through an audio stream starting here. Right now part 3 of 4 is playing, I'm a little upset that I didn't get to preview parts 1 and 2, but part 3 sounds pretty good - including a new rendition of Chicago.

Enjoy!
