This has been a glorious week. First Sufjan released an EP (8 songs, and a full 60 minutes of new music) last week and today even more good news. On October 12th Sufjan Stevens will release his first full length studio album since 2005. It will be titled The Age of Adz (pronounced odds) and the album is largely introspective in nature. Gone is the folk narrative and historic tales. Here Sufjan will turn the lens upon himself and let his musical imagination trip out on whatever he finds entertaining. Just listen to the first track.

That, quite decidedly, does not sound like standard Sufjan Stevens music. It also, quite decidedly, has me very interested in what the rest of the album will sound like. Head over to Sufjan’s bandcamp website to preorder the album and get a digital copy two weeks in advance of the street date.
