New Sufjan Stevens EP available now
Stream it all hear, or buy the MP3's
__________________Sufjan Stevens CD and LP later this year. The EP, 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 (oh we hate making workshop a verb, but time is money!) 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?). The full track list is available right here. All Delighted People: 01 All Delighted People (Original Version) 02 Enchanting Ghost 03 Heirloom 04 From the Mouth of Gabriel 05 The Owl and the Tanager 06 All Delighted People (Classic Rock Version) 07 Arnika 08 Djohariah Apparently it's 60 minutes as well. Nice. |

This hardly counts as an EP.
But... ![]()

Seemed nice, but not much memorable material on first listen for me. Anyone else check it out yet, what did you think?

Thanks! Does anyone know if All Delighted People (the song) played during the tour last year (apart from "workshopped")?

According to setlist.fm he played it in the show I saw last year. Not that I can remember, really. I seem to recall a very, very long new song, so it must have been this.
Anyways, there is some good stuff in the EP, but nothing that I found amazing. I need a few more listens before forming an opinion. |

Sheeeeeeeeesh! Lots of new Sujfan to become acquainted with before the concertings.
Ironically, this album will receive a physical release before the EP does. |

I really like "Enchanting Ghost" and "Heirloom." They have the same rustic, somber feel as Seven Swans, which is my favorite Sufjan album.

I downloaded the EP last night and I liked it. I'll need to listen to it again to get a better feel for it. But there aren't many artists these days that release 60-minute EPs.

This is pretty cool, actually. Pitchfork: Listen: New Sufjan Stevens: "I Walked" Certainly different for him. |

This thing has really grown on me, as most Sufjan albums do. All Delighted People (Original) is probably my favorite of the bunch.
