this is so great, anything else in his discog like this beside age of adz? or anything similar, i can't get over how interesting it is
His most recent Christmas albums were recorded around the same time, so they have the same maximalist baroque electronic mixed with hymnal style structure.
thoughts on the 2010 era Sufjan? these two albums are his creative magnum opus imo
All Delighted People (original version) is one of his best songs, maybe the absolute best.

really? just missed christmas lmao, damn.

its about as good as impossible soul, Dhojariah competes though definitely
>>63257126
Age of Adz is definitely my favorite by far.
I hope he hasn't abandoned that style for his standard acoustic sound.
>>63257201
yeah it'd be so depressing if he goes back to being little indie sweetheart, i mean that stuff is ok but when i listen to age of adz i feel on some next level shit, its so inspiring and captivating
>>63257187
Impossible Soul is great, but I prefer All Delighted People because it seems more concise.
>>63257126
the best of his career so far.
Some of the tracks off of A Sun Came are reminiscent to his 2010 style as well oddly enough.
>>63257256
maybe yeah, but pleasure principle, the pop rock section and the first chorus in impossible soul are beyond incredible. All delighted people is consistently amazing but the moments in impossible soul are mind blowing
>>63257303
a sun came is just too meh for me honestly

Planetarium sounds a lot more like Adz than anything else he's done.

It's insanely hit or miss and very lofi. I'm just saying some of the styles popped back up 10 years later.
>>63257476
yeah fair enough dude
>>63257473
i've never heard that! got a link or is it in the archive?
>>63257548
It's in the archive, and it's pretty great
It's only a live recording, but It should be getting a proper release this year or next. As I understand he was finishing it up before he started working on Carrie and Lowell.

Seconding this rec. The Christmas albums are eclectic, drawing elements from his whole career. They can be hit-and-miss, but man, when they hit...
>>63257613
nice, might leave it until the official release because i feel like this style of sufjan needs good prod.
>>63257877
Post best Christmas songs.

From the Mouth of Gabriel is my favorite from the 'EP' though

Those passages in Dhojariah about the husband are so gorgeous
