Some dude from Reddit used to work next door to Sufjan's studio in Brooklyn. One day, while he was renovating the place, he threw a bunch of stuff into the building's dumpster.
He found this album in good enough condition to show around and contemplate upping for us all.
Now he's waiting for Asthmatic Kitty to get in touch with him before he uploads it.

Here's a track he upped to Soundcloud.
https://soundcloud.com/user-427714287/sufjan-stevens-lets-fly-to-another-planet
Is there any reason at all to believe this is real?
>>66217607
is that all lamps fucked on the hairy dick memeing?
>>66217625
If /mu/ broke this, I'd be very skeptical. However, Sufjan's subreddit isn't big on trolls or pranks. I'm willing to believe this is actually happening.
Dude from Asthmatic Kitty itself in the comments is asking him not to release it. Even if it is real, say goodbye to ever hearing the thing.

God fucking dammit.
>>66217736
>he's not going to post it now
>this is probably the only chance for this to ever be leaked
>it's all lights fucked all over again
thanks reddit
He responded:
>I was half-expecting to hear from someone at AKR. I have nothing but respect and admiration for you guys and the work you do! My apologies for jumping the gun on putting a track up; I've gone ahead and taken it down. For the record, it is a lovely little album and I'm so glad I saved it from the landfill!
Seriously, I'm so fucking done with this kind of shit.
>it's another "look at me" redditfag episode
>>66217804
WHY
>>66217736
let it be known that this is why i like /mu/ more than i like reddit.
>Unreleased late 90's Sufjan Stevens album found in Brooklyn dumpster
right where it belongs desu
>>66217804
Lmao, holy shit, it's always reddit.
Yep, he's never going to leak it. This is his top post on Reddit.
>>66217691
>Warm Bum
Does this confirm the rumours?
>>66217736
did anyone rip the track he did leak?
>>66217624
and now the SC link is dead. he actually deleted it.
first it was them messing up the painting with leak, now it's them keeping holy grail early-era suffy from us.
fucking reddit, man.
Goddamnit Margaret, this is why we cant fucking have nice things
>>66217863
god fucking damnit
>>66217863
wow
>>66217882
I fucking remember that whole Painting With debacle. Kid recorded with his iPhone mic his early copy of Painting With while it played over the in-device speakers of his Crosley turn table.
for anyone who didn't get to hear the song before he took it down, it was a short lo-fi noise rock/noise pop song. pretty good
>>66217882
>actually prefering early sufjan to 2010s sufjan
>>66217863
of all the people to find this
life is a cruel joke
Whatever, not a huge loss. That cover looks atrocious, and we've all heard a sun came. Assuming it's from around that same time, it's probably just as bad.
>>66217882
I can't help but feel this is one big prank
>>66218020
>prank
it's social experiment you doofus
that cover is so edgy. is that actually sufjan? looks like he's doing a "twisted fucking psychopath" pose
>>66217843
yep
>>66217863
Only on Reddit would someone do this shit. Why did he even bother to share?
>>66218020
The only prank here is taking his music
Serious
Numale garbage
>>66217956
by "holy grail" i mean it's a set of recordings we could've had from an era we don't know much of, but unfortunately reddit had to cuck it all up.
>>66218064
It's probably satire
>>66218033
>it's a social experiment
Then where's the camera?
>>66218089
You seem very aggressive.
Are you OK?
So he put the 1st song on soundcloud.
Naturally, I ripped it...
https://clyp.it/5h1vt0i3
It would've been easier to ask for forgiveness than to have begged for permission. Reddit has once again fucked over those who actually like and listen to music.
>>66218149
It's... wow. I'm not sure I was ready for that
>>66218149
too soon
>>66218102

>>66218191
OH SHIT!
Good thing I covered it with duct tape (I'm not paranoid, honest)
>>66218149
This is funky as fuck I didn't know Suffy had it in him
>>66218149
THIS IS GORGEOUS
So is anyone else planning to rob him
leak it deak
>>66217607
always reddits fucking up everything
so we can pretty much only hear this if Sufjan gives the OK to the guy?
>>66218359
So, never
>>66218359
>implying sufjan wasn't that guy from AK responding on reddit
just look at how he typed it
>>66218359
It's not even SS himself asking him to not release it. It's just whoever at AKR studio that controls their reddit account telling him not to.
This is why they are shit. I could maybe understand if the actual artist asked him not to, but this is just an employee at the record company.
the only reason to not sanction it would be planning an "archive release" down the line, which if they weren't doing before they are now
fuck 'em
>>66218408
This. I cannot imagine Suffy in a million years being cool with this, which fucking sucks. I wish the dude just uploaded this in the first post. Like another anon said, asking for forgiveness would've been better than begging for permission.
THEY'RE TAUNTING US NOW
>>66218609
not even mad, just disappointed
>>66218609
God dammit! I just want more Sufjan!
>>66217607
only on reddit would someone keep that to themselves

thats not how soundcloud downloaders work ffs. its no longer on soundclouds servers, I need to get it out of safari.
I can't record audio output of mac and the plugins to do that require a restart. I've recorded it from my speakers but it sounds like shit.
anyone know what theyre talking about and isnt just going to shout SOUNDCLOUD downloader?
so it was thrown out because pretty much every song on it is openly about him being a gay serial killer right?
going to try to airplay it to another mac and record there
>me in the middle when i find out there is a Sufjan album, i'll never hear

I'll give you the money if the album's good.
>>66219588
It is. It's 14 full tracks of Sufjan. Seems to be his debut.
You're retarded if you think this is real
Remember when some dude on Reddit had a copy of All Lights Fucked and couldn't figure out how to upload it so he just deleted his internet existence?
>>66219574
because people on reddit actually leave the house every once in a while. you never know what you'll find out there. maybe even a gf desu.

Ta muchly everyone.
Stay frosty!

>>66219697
You're being trolled, guy.
That dude's disc doesn't match up to OP's disc at all.
>>66219745
I kinda figured but its worth a shot
>>66219612
I didn't think so at first but considering the Asthmatic Kitty response it probably is
>>66219712
rused
>>66219697
I mean, if you're a huge Sufjan fan I'd hope you'd want it as extraordinarily rare memorabilia regardless of how it sounds.
I don't really know of any way to let you hear it without giving it away to you. Let me know if that exists.

Yeah, this seems real, but I'm guessing this isn't a real album and is you trolling everyone.
>>66219792
I mean I'm the only chance in this thread you have lol
>>66219826
lol k
>>66219819
It's definitely real. The rest of the album has that sound - it's off-the-wall, weird, a little goofy. Some instrumental tracks and some with Sufjan on weird-ass vocals. I like it.
>>66219815
OP of thread speaking,
It's legit.
>>66219832
Are you trolling me? Am I just talking to some 12 year-old who has no money and wants to watch me negotiate for nothing?
>>66219826
it's just one song, the one the redditor uploaded to soundcloud. it's legit.
>>66219910
Oh, fair enough.
>>66219858
if this is ~actually~ the dude with the album, it would be cool if you could just post this here on the sly. Despite ASR telling you otherwise, this didn't seem like THAT much of an urgent issue for them had you upped this. If you don't wish to, it's truly whatevs, but it would be very kind of you if you did.
>>66219371
if you're just trolling, then you're really good at matching handwriting. i mean, the writing matches 100%. I'd personally bet this is the real deal, though.
>>66219371
This is actually legit. The TDK logo is in the original it's just faint because of white background.
>>66219740
I despise reddit
>>66219371
oh shet this is the guy confirmed
>>66219923
Lovely investigative work. For the last time, yes, it's the real deal. I'm just hesitant because the label got on there and asked me nicely. I like Sufjan. I'm in a pickle.
>>66219901
>Are you trolling me?
:^)
>>66219969
just upload it then. it harms no one, the company doesn't seem to really care that much either, and you'd be doing a huge service to fans of Suffy
>>66219969
honestly sufjan doesn't give a shit. it's not going to ruin his week or anything. it's something to hold us over until planetarium and will make tens of thousands of people happy
>>66219969
The label just said don't do it without Sufjan's permission. Just go send him a message and say "can I please share this with people, because it's really good and I think they'll like it"
Or, just leak it and pretend like someone else did it
>>66219969
>I'm in a pickle.
a 1000 dollar pickle apparently
>>66219969
I know I'll get incessantly called a cuck for this, but honestly I don't think you should. The Asthmatic Kitty guys have always been really chill, they've even posted here before. If they don't think it's a good idea then it's probably not.
>>66219671
who this magnum guy and why does he say cuck like a trump faggit a m e r i c u c k?
>>66220021
cuck
>>66220010
This, youve already ruined the illusion that your not posting it out of respect for suf because youre such a good person.
>>66219969
i'm not a sufjan fan but it seems like it would be a legitimately bad idea for you to take money for it, like that's the part that would piss the label and sufjan off the most.
They don't legally own the rights on that CD (there's no logo to be found). It's just a demo CD. Just upload the thing.
>>66219969
>>66219858
if you are actually the guy from reddit, AKR gave you permission to upload it for free with no legal action. they did NOT give you permission to sell it, which is obviously worthy of a huge lawsuit.
and if you're lying, paypal disputes have been taken to court over smaller sums of money.
either way trying to get money from this situation is not a good idea so just leak it if you have it, or stop being a faggot if you're lying.
>>66219969
"OH NOE SUMONE JSUT STOLE THE DISK FROM MY DESK AT WORK "
>>66220043
Honestly if you're not gonna post it then whatever, but don't hang around here getting us hard as fuck and blue ball us
>>66219991
^^
Not trying to fuck with you or simply gain what would most definitely be a very interesting batch of .MP3s on my computer when I say that Asthmatic Kitty nor Sufjan would care by any considerable wide margin. Unless they were planning to bundle this release up and redistribute it by way of a remastered release (which I doubt so very hard) I sincerely do not believe they care as much as you believe they care should you upload this right now.
>>66220034
>magnum
everyone send lil suffy an email begging him to give permission
don't let this become another alfothad clusterfuck of disappointment
>>66219755
Sufjan i have a question
Did you fuck all these girls at once or just one at a time?
>>66220072
Sufjan probably owns the rights to the sound recordings, so you would probably need to ask him to be safe from any legal threats, but he seems like he'd be cool about it.
>>66220111

>No More Mister Nice Guy

I'd be more inclined to believe it if I didn't know that Sufjan is like a devout christian and all that
>>66220111
w2c shirt
>>66220122
Jeff Mangum probably owns the rights to Hype City Soundtrack as well. Did that stop people from leaking it?
>>66220111
Yeah dawg, I fuck all the bitches all the time.
I fucked them one at a time, then every double pairing, then all three.
Shit nigga, I love fucking birds. Yeah just thinking about those big, massive, delicious, throbbing cocks is making me hard.
Er, I, er, mean big tits.
Yeah, that's what I meant, tits.
Nothing gay about tits
(fuck sake sufjan, don't out yourself)
Yeah, er, gotta go
>>66220167
lets gt cjack and trade the srfjan for the gybe and he can keep the surfjammer a secret thus keeping his mental integrity in tact whiles we get the gybe

A Sun Came has a song called "Super Sexy Woman"
>>66220171
You should take it seriously. It's real. Keep this entertainment going and I just might break.
>>66220171
Someone posted a track from the album and it was confirmed legit by Asthmatic Kitty.
>>66220178
No, but if he wanted to sue whoever leaked it, he could.
I'm just saying, legally you'd be in an uncertain area if you were to leak it.
>>66220171
Would AKR respond to a prank you dense fuck?
if this is a reddit prank, im impressed
if this isn't a reddit prank im gonna ask suffy myself
>>66220204
I mean, to be fair they don't confirm it's real, just that if it is real they don't think it would be a good idea to release it. By the sounds of the post they made, it sounds like this is the first they've heard of it as well, which makes me even more skeptical of this.
>>66219815
That sounds like some Lo-fi It was Hot we stayed in Water type shit
>>66219671
Jeffrey Mangum you say
>>66220225
If any indie musician tried to pull some shit like that, they would forever be ostracized from the community and almost every publication sans Rolling Stone. They'd essentially have to start trying to pick up Ted Nugent fans.
>>66219969
Dude, Montie here.
Silently release it here, just for us. We won't tell and you won't go down in history as a bitch.
It's not a fucking prank you know nothing about sufjans work. the song we have is legit.
>>66220221
>and I just might break.
fuck this shit
>>66219969
this may be asking too much, but in the case you aren't going to upload the album (or if you are, either way), could you scan the album cover and post the image here?
>>66220222
>>66220204
They made a response alright, but it started with "Well this is new to us here at the label"
>>66219652
lmao
there's definitely a few people people who are on /mu/ and reddit at the same time
they've both got their merits
i'd guess they're mostly lurkers tho
>>66220302
I can easily see Suffy writing, recording, and silently releasing a fuck-ton of material, only for him to get cold feet and chuck it in a dumpster because he personally felt it wasn't up to his fullest potential.
I'll upload a rare Montie pic if one song is released I swear
Does anyone remember suffy putting out a contest to hear a new song and some douche from New York won it and only would let people hear it if the came to his "apartment listening party"
i hope it's real only because it's so awful that it inspires me how much he's managed to improve since this song.
it's pretty rare that you get to hear the terrible songs an artist wrote when they were just starting out.
