Everyone act surprised: the recently touted
All Delighted People EP was just an appetizer. The Sufjan camp confirmed this morning that
Age of Adz, the next full length (and the first song-based since
Illinois in 2005, is due on October 12 via Asthmatic Kitty.
According to
the Ashtmatic Kitty site, "Adz" is pronounced "odds" and is a reference to the "apocalyptic paintings of outsider artist Royal Robertson (1930-1997), whose work is used for the album cover, interior design, and as general inspiration for the tone of the album". It is also said to sound nothing like the
All Delighted People EP. Neat!
Preorder in the next three weeks and you get a free MP3 on the 28th (a couple of weeks before the release date). See the
website for more details. -
