Sufjan Stevens Coming to the Beachland

Get Ready… The Sufjanites are about to go crazy!

I think I’m going to stay away from this show… Not a huge fan, though it's probably just because I haven’t invested the time. Not liking sold out shows at the Ballroom won’t sway me any closer.

Then saw it on Pitchfork:

Recent announcements about Sufjan Stevens releasing a “re-imagined” version of his 2001 instrumental album Enjoy Your Rabbit and a tricked-out multimedia set documenting his 2007 “BQE” piece were all well and good, but it also seemed like dude was stalling a little.

But no more. Sufjan is set to tour very intimate venues on the eastern half of North America starting September 21 in Philadelphia and wrapping up with four dates in New York City. His label, Asthmathic Kitty, makes it clear that the tour “has nothing to do with” the “BQE” box— so it seems safe to expect some of those Sufjan songs you still put on repeat every now and then. And, who knows, maybe he’ll break out a couple new ones, too?
