The National to Appear on Next Sufjan Stevens Album

2010-06-16T10:10:48Z

Sufjan Stevens has finally headed back into the studio, and in this case, it’s the National’s studio, in Brooklyn. “We’ve played on some of the tracks and been listening to some of the stuff as he’s been working on it,” National guitarist Bryce Dessner recently told Exclaim!. Dessner was pretty tight-lipped about the details out of respect for his comrade’s artistic privacy, although when asked if the new Stevens material was bearing much resemblance to previous releases, Dessner was unequivocal in his response of “No.”

thoughts on what the new sound will be like?

2010-04-12T06:43:19Z

i was either reading here or sufjanfans, and someone had an unedited version of his performance at austin city limits. i saved it once but i had to redo my whole system and forgot to save it. could someone lead me in the right direction or upload it for me?

Whoa Whoa Whoa

2010-03-05T01:31:08Z

WTF is going on lately? Sufjan has vanished into thin air since the end of his tour, and then today I see "The Dress Looks Nice On You" used in a Twilight commercial or something?! Am I the last one to notice this, and find it strange and sort of sad?

sufjan @ 2009-12-18T10:27:00

2009-12-18T15:28:41Z

So, I mean, I know Sufjan Stevens is popular (in certain circles) but it never failed to baffle me when, exactly one year ago, I made this post on Volume Knob. It blew up, and gave a permanent boost to our readership.

And sure, a lot of blogs linked to my post, but most have the exclusive readership of the blog's author. Then I checked one blog link. (Whaa-wait? NY Mag featured our blog AND WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT??)

and here's some SUPER-serendipity for you:
TODAY'S NY MAG FRONT PAGE, MOTHAFUCKAZ: THE B-Q-E.

Oh yes, if you didn't last year, be sure to download Sufjan's "Songs for Christmas Vol. 8" from last year.

sufjan @ 2009-12-08T10:36:00

2009-12-08T15:37:39Z

This made me smile and hopefully you too. Sufjan performs with Denison Witmer and Rosie Thomas, but all lose stage presence in a laugh-fest. Also, techno "dancing." Enjoy!

Sufjan's Triple J interview.

The only interview that Sufjan gave to an Australian radio station. Zan Rowe had been trying to get an interview with him for 6-7 years.

Listen.

Back to uni work.

enjoy!

oh, and I'm so obsessed with The BQE these-a-days. I've watched it every single day since it arrived in the mail and it never ceased to just impress me and also show such peace and beauty for an artificial, grating environment. In that sense, it reminds me of the opposite of the movie "Rivers and Tides: Working with Andy Goldsworthy." Anyone else seen that one?

EDIT: PLEASE tell me you guys follow this blog: Between Hipsters and God, there is Sufjan Stevens: Fuck Yeah Sufjan Stevens!"

Sufjan on Sound check on NPR

last minute plea for extra tickets to tonight or tomorrows show in williamsburg? anyone? me and my friends are desperate for tickets!!

"I didn't know guns were allowed on Sufjan's tour."

But for those who are still going to see him, cameras & recording stuff is all a-ok. let's document the hell outta this tour--gotta feeling it'll be interesting to review once the new album's out.

OMG OMG OMG

2009-09-24T13:13:02Z

You can se me mouthing along in the front, heh.
Who else was there?
What about tonight? Cleveland? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

+ A full half of songs played last night were brand new.
+ Well, one was based off an old song by the same name, "All Delighted People." and also the Simon & Garfunkle song "The Sounds of Silence."
+ Here are the following adjectives and phrases that define the new sound:
electronica
prog-rock
shredding electric guitar
lyrically intimate love songs (!!!!!!)
glam rock
a danceable, beat-heavy "Majesty Snowbird"
7/8 (or possibly alternating 4/4, 3/4) time signatures
definite Stereolab and Mouse on Mars influences
not too much distortion/noise, perhaps surprisingly

I actually got a chance to sit down with Sufjan after soundcheck. Like a bad questionnaire, "If you could ask Sufjan only one question, what would it be?"

The music-critic-heroine in me jumped out with: "I think it's interesting that you're moving toward a much more electronic sound..."
"Yeah, I've been working with it for a long time though."
"Well, it just seems an odd juxtaposition that your orchestral pieces are being re-arranged in a more electronic form, while at the same time your only electronica album is being re-released [ Run Rabbit Run ] after being re-arranged by a string quartet, more 'organic' instruments, if you will, moving it in the opposite direction..."
He sat there for a moment, smiling but caught off guard until "Yeah.... Yeah! Huh! I guess I didn't even think about that!"

Booyah. The moral of the story is that it's a happy coincidence only.
No word on a confirmed album release date, title or state affiliation. Guesses?

Hello everyone!

I was recommended to join you guys by daylight_brokeand I did get interested in Sufjan thanks to her as well so of course I was going to join the fun. I'm an iconmaker and I made some Sufjan icons this week.

LOL. I'd subscribe.

Ithaca Tickets?

2009-08-22T15:42:11Z

Of course the venue is sold out, but in a sudden suspended moment of panicked realization, I will throw out a desperate plea for any last minute cancellations or extra tickets or blah blah blah that anyone can give me. I need only a ticket for myself. I am such an idiot for not diligently checking the internet this summer :(

If there is no help to be had, let this be an invitation for others to lament with me. Never ever ever did I think Sufjan would come anywhere near my little town in bumblefudge nowhere. At least I'll have the consolation of proximity?
