A Stereogum.com premiere:
That descending horn refrain is absolutely stuck in my brain. And thank god (it’s replaced “Bacardi … and cola … they get the job done!”).
Could Avalanche pull off some consequetive album-of-the-year Tom Hanks-style shit?
Anyway, enjoy. I expect y’all to suck my bandwidth dry. It’s cool — Sufjan approved (after many brunches involving silly costumes). The Avalanche: Outtakes And Extras From The Illinois Album is out 7/25 on Asthmatic Kitty.

Wheres the mp3???
try again. fixed.
Sweet song, thanks for putting it up.
just when I think I’m all Sufjan’d out i go and get meself re-sufjan’d. then de-sufjan’d, then stevens-ized!
I like that part in the middle where Rosie Thomas gets pregnant.
and this didn’t make the orig. IL?
btw when is the Rosie Thomas/Surfjan thing due out?? she’s a badass!@
Any truth to the rumor the Sufjan shot his load all over Illinois and not rosie thomas?? Seriously, can he save a good song or two for the next state?
yay! some more sufjan!!
great track Axl!

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who gets that Bacardi and Cola song stuck in their head. For days. At least I’m not alone.
This would have been awsome to have shown up in your mp3 feed, except that it isn’t working.
I always think I’m going to get tired of Sufjan. But then I get more and it just gets better.
thanks! now to listen to it on repeat.
Is that a Chevy© Avalanche? on the album cover? Hasn’t Mr. Sufjan learned about this trademark thing from the Illinois cover?
Love it. I’m marking July 25th on my calendar right now.
It sounds like Postman Pat. In a good way, obviously, Pat and his Cat kicked arse.
WTF Mate, it cuts off at the end.
Oh man, this song sounds absolutely amazing. He can do no wrong in my eyes though. A thousand hearts his way!
Sean- It doesn’t cut off at the end. Try redownloading it?
Thanks Laura, for some reason I needed someone to tell me to do that (I’m an idiot)
clearly i’m insane, but i could swear it was jeff hanson singing backing vocals. weird. i’m assuming it’s actually some woman. eh.
“forget about yourself and all your pla-ey-ah-ey-ah-ey-ans.”
the avalanche sounds great so far.
really exciting!
