Welcome to Illinois!

descobri Sufjan Stevens o ano passado, aquando do lançamento de Seven Swans. decisão fulminante: comprei e fiz o download de tudo o que era possível encontrar e três (dos cinco) álbuns deste singer/songwriter entraram rapidamente na lista dos meus all-time favourites.

Stevens é o extraterrestre do planeta indie com uma ambição sem limites, relativamente à qual o projecto «The 50 States» é apenas a ponta mais visível: um álbum para cada um dos estados dos E.U.A. em 2003, Greetings from Michigan! The Great Lakes State estreava o conceito com um trabalho dedicado ao estado natal de Stevens. por puro acaso, descubro há instantes que o segundo álbum acaba de ser lançado - precisamente hoje. e está na amazon a £8,99. e eu - ah, pois! - vou comprar já de seguida.
