[Listen/Download] – Entire New EP By Sufjan Stevens – “All Delighted People”

Chances are you’ve already heard OF this, if not actually listened to the hour-long EP itself, but just in case you didn’t read a single music site yesterday, here it is.

Nobody knew this was coming and everyone freaked the fuck out, similar to what’ll happen when the first taster of Radiohead’s next album gets sprung.  I’ts currently 01:51am and I’ve just finished listening to it for the first time, and if you listen to the whole thing and hate it up to track seven, then stick around for number eight, an epic 17 minute jam with some awesome guitar playing.  [Update] Ok, it’s now 03:19am and I just got through my second listen;  it’s definitely a grower.

Personally, and on my first listen, I wasn’t too pleased with the whole thing, but I’ll give it another few tries and maybe it’ll grow, like “The Suburbs” did.

Listen to the whole thing below and then go buy it if you like it, it’s only $5.  And $5 for an hour’s worth of music you like is a damn good deal.
