"Heirloom" is beautiful, haunting, enchanting, exciting--a secretive gift among the rococo pleasures of All Delighted People. For the centerpiece of ornamental wonder, enjoy the title track too.
A word on the EP from Mr. Stevens' bandcamp: "All Delighted People is built around two different versions of Sufjan's long-form epic ballad "All Delighted People," a dramatic homages to the Apocalypse, existential ennui, and Paul Simon's "Sound 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 maintstay (and Debbie Downer if you ask us; what's it doing on a "Delighted" EP?)."
