Surprise Sufjan EP available now!!!

Totally out of the blue, Sufjan Stevens has returned with an 8-track, 60-minute long EP that you can download right now from his bandcamp site. All Delighted People - which will set you back just €5 - contains two versions of the title track Stevens played at a few dates last year and six other new songs! His label Asthmatic Kitts say:

"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?)."
