Time to relax today. My last few posts have been Rock, Post-Hardcore, Ska.. And now, let’s slow it down for about 6:00 minutes.
Sufjan created Come On Feel the Illinoise as an indie concept album back in 2005. It’s his fifth album and was actually the second in a series where Sufjan created a plan to write music for all fifty states. He started with Michigan, hit an amazing CD with Illinois, and then..acknowledged the whole thing was a gag.
Nonetheless, Sufjan really hit gold with the CD as it was compared to Steve Reich, Neil Young, and even bits of the Cure. It’s a wonderful indie album that I highly recommend you download and enjoy. Not much has been heard from Sufjan on promises of a new album as of late, but we can always hang on and hope.
