Sufjan Stevens

I bought a new CD yesterday. I haven't bought a CD in quite sometime. I have been and am a huge fan of iTunes but there is somthing about the better sound quality of CD's vs mp3's plus the tangible nature of the CD make my heart warm.

Sufjan Stevens, Illinoise, was my most recent purchase. It was recommended to me by my friend Chris as well as my Sister. Chris generally has great taste in music while my sister is either hit or miss. In this case it's a hit.

I am not here to write an album review and descirbe the sounds in some metaphorical montage that attempt to recreate the experience of the music with word pictures, but the album is wonderful. The Clown Killer song made me shiver. His haunting whispering voice is both relaxing and unnerving.
