Just 6 days following the surprise digital release of his 60-minute EP, All Delighted People, Sufjan Stevens has announced the October 12 release of his next full-length album: The Age of Adz. According to Asthmatic Kitty, the Adz (pronounced “odds”) LP “sounds nothing like” last week’s 8-song set:
We can say it shows an extensive use of electronics (banjos and acoustic guitars give way to drum machines and analog synthesizers), and an obsession with cosmic fantasies (space, heaven, aliens, love), to create an explicit pop-song extravaganza, augmented by heavy orchestration, and maybe even a few danceable moments.
