I’m speechless.

In light of his recently announced national tour, Sufjan Stevens pulled a fast one and has released a brand new hour long, 8-track “EP” which is available to stream and buy on Bandcamp right now for a measly $5. The intention is to have a physical release of the EP in December as a single disc or double vinyl.

Here is the official EP release information

All Delighted People is built around two different versions of Sufjan’s long-form epic ballad “All Delighted People,” a dramatic homage to the Apocalypse, existential ennui, and Paul Simon’s “Sounds 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 mainstay (and Debbie Downer if you ask us; what’s it doing on a “Delighted” EP?).

So far I’m two tracks in and it sounds like Sufjan has no studio rust build up what’s so ever.
