Whenever singer-songwriter/composer/indie folk mastermind Sufjan Stevens releases new music, it always seems like a good time to celebrate and get excited. Right now, you can pick up the new 8-song, hour-long All Delighted People EP online. A quote on Sufjan's Bandcamp site explains it all.
All Delighted People is built around two different versions of Sufjan’s long-form epic ballad "All Delighted People," a dramatic homage to the Apocalypse, existential ennui, and Paul Simon’s "Sounds of Silence." Sounds delightful, yes! The song was originally workshopped on Sufjan’s previous tour in the fall of 2009. Other songs on the EP include the 17-minute guitar jam-for-single-mothers "Djohariah," and the gothic piano ballad "The Owl and the Tanager," a live-show mainstay (and Debbie Downer if you ask us; what’s it doing on a "Delighted" EP?).Stream the new EP below and pick it up here.
