very interested

 

Think they'll let me trade in my copy of ascension for this? ;)

 

I’ll try and stay awake until 1:30AM my time to see what’s up as there’s a premiere on BBC Radio at 7:30 British time.

Someone found this on the Sufjan Reddit which pretty much confirms it’s a collab album:

 

Oh dang, folk Sufjan is back.

 

Really dig the album art. Seems like he’s been non stop for the past year.

 

I hope this is better than The Ascension

 

Fell asleep before the premiere on BBC Radio but I just woke up to use the restroom and HELL YEAH.

Collab album with Angelo, out September 24. First single premiered on BBC Radio and you can listen here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sufjan/comments/ofe0dv/premiere_of_new_track_reach_out_full_album_coming/ It sounds VERY good. This is now my most anticipated record for 2021.

 

Hopeful

 

angelo is very good, looking forward to this

 

Oh yeah these tracks definitely scratch the folk-Sufjan itch

 

Got me some of that transparent blue action. Songs are great.

 

They make beautiful music together and this has just moved to the top of my list of most anticipated albums.

 

reach out was ok but i love olympus. he is really an output machine.

 

good songs

 

The new songs sound fantastic. Love the film concept too, with everything else sprinkled in.

 

I really like both of these, very impressed

 

New songs "Back to Oz" and "Fictional California" are the next singles out, word is Friday but not 100% on that

 

Also I listened to the two singles dropped so far again and this really is going to be my AOTY I can just tell

 

perfect

 

Love all of these songs so far. Their voices are so similar I can't tell who is singing what.

 

Whew. Back to Oz rules.

 

The first time I heard de augustine I was immediately reminded of sufjan. I love that they're doing such an extensive collaboration now.
