Sufjan Stevens goes breakbeat-electro-jazzy...
 

Huh. Well at the very least, this is unexpected. Between this and the new Flaming Lips, is "kind of Bitches Brew-y" set to replace "shoegazing" as the latest overused indie trend?

nothing at all bitches brewesque about that track

excuse me, bitches brew?

I don't share the high esteem for Bitches Brew that a lot of people have.

Apologies. I posted this at like 2AM having been drinking, and had just opened the youtube video in the background. I realise that in the cold light of day the resemblance to Bitches Brew mostly, well... isn't there. I just heard electric jazz stylings and trumpet. Still, what do we think?

i think it's shit

so he went from suck-ass to premier bleep-bloopery suckTATION?

i thought sufjan fell off the face of the earth.

could someone tell him to stay off? or at least not put out any more records?

Well, it may not be the cool thing to say on this board, and many of his tracks have damn sure been way overplayed, but hell, I really do love some of Sufjan's stuff. I'm aware that it's all gloopy and overly sentimental, but I just don't care. This new stuff though... I reserve judgment for now.

Awful guy doing something awful.

diff'nt gloopy sentimental music for diff'nt folks.
