Sufjan. Stevens. New. Album. The four words have stumbled around The D Man's brain for the past several days. Apparently, Sufjan has not only been gigging with his friends from The National, but he has been hard at work in the band's Brooklyn studio recording a new album. Bryce Dessner explains that Sufjan is "very solitary in what he does" and that the new material does not sound like his older records. "It's going to be incredible," Dessner adds. "It's probably going to blow people's minds." With my mind already blown, Sufjan will just need to (gently) pick up the pieces.
Enjoy this goofy fan video for "He Woke Me Up Again," from 2004's masterful Seven Swans. The song contains the best banjo lead/organ accompaniment of all time. And it somehow manages to sum up The D Man's feelings for Sufjan's music, the Divine, and years of patient waiting: I was asleep. And He woke me up again.
