Sufjan Stevens - 'So You Are Tired'

Sufjan Stevens will be giving us a brand-new solo album in October titled “Javelin” (presave here) and today he is giving us a little taste of what we can expect with the sweet sounds of new single ‘So You Are Tired’ [insert squeal of excitement here]

“Javelin has the feel of a big team album production — but it is decidedly not: almost every sound here is the result of Sufjan writing and recording at home, building by himself what sometimes feels like a testament to ‘70s Los Angeles studio opulence. The contributions come from a close circle of friends – adrienne maree brown, Hannah Cohen, Pauline Delassus, Megan Lui and Nedelle Torrisi – who provide harmonies on many songs, and Bryce Dessner, who plays acoustic and electric guitar on “Shit Talk.”

To celebrate the release, we’re issuing a special AKR Seaweed Ocean Blast edition. All CD and LP editions include a 48-page book of art and essays all created by Sufjan, including a series of collages, cut-up catalog fantasies, puff-paint word clouds, and color fields.” ~ via Asthmatic Kitty Records
