oh no. suf always in a constant battle to out-pretentious himself. anyway where do i preorder

Beautiful track, but either this sounds tinny on purpose or my speakers are too shit.

incredible production on this, looking forward to the whole thing, always got time for more suffie

Hard to judge one song when it's clearly meant to be listened to as one holistic piece, but this sounds immense

Hope it’s better than that last stinker he put out

New Sufjan mega album about his dead dad? Even if it is instrumental, I’m pretty sure Sufjan’s goal is to personally make me cry

I actually really dug his last so looking forward to this (:

Yeah that last album was actually a really rewarding listen

yea it was rewarding deleting it off my hard drive after I listened to it... right fellas

wrong >:l

last one had like 2 1/2 good tracks while also clocking at 80 min

5 volumes? That's a Stephin Merritt-level project.

He's slowly turning into Autechre

"49 tracks"
Should've just gone for the 50.

the number 50 is taboo for sufjan

What if this is just a Trojan horse for the 48 states he has left

is it gonna be ambient tho bc i could like that

Is it Convocations or Convications Tuna? you have both.

And damn 49 tracks? 5 volumes representing 5 stages of grievance?! Ayayay Suffie... where are u getting into?

he heard about what The Caretaker was doing and said hold my grief

lol great thread ngl

sufjan hasn't done anything remotely interesting after illinois tbh

Seems like he’s keen to release more worthless trash. The pace at which he’s churning these out speaks volumes. Such a shame.

Anyone else reminded of the instrumental to Little Panda McElroy by Xiu Xiu?

It’s gonna be a mighty heavy vinyl stack

He fell off hard after C&L

I'd rather he branched out into other sounds than made another C&L. He basically perfected his acoustic side with Mystery of Love and The Ascension is shockingly underrated.

"sufjan hasn't done anything remotely interesting after illinois tbh"

idk a ton of people think C&L is the best thing ever. Also are you really saying age of adz is boring? I mean, even if that album isn't your cup of tea it's definitely not boring

This is gonna be the new new Mellon Collie

"He fell off hard after C&L"

didn't you insta 5 his latest?

Lol @ this thread, as if C&L, AOA and TA weren't awesome.

I'm not disagreeing with you m8

Thanks for speaking sense Tuna

all i want is mystery of love 11 times over one album is that too much to ask for

as someone who liked asporia more than most and didn't care for the ascension, this is more up my alley, just not all 5 volumes

"all i want is mystery of love 11 times over one album is that too much to ask for"

ew, please, no
