Sufjan Stevens
Dara:
in his live show he and his band are all dressed in cheer outfits and they do cheers about Illinois between songs

*sob*
WHY did the show have to be sold out!? WHY!?
Perhaps he'll be dressed up in some sort of skirt for... umm... hawaii?
Ok... back on topic: To all those who have gotten his other albums, which should I get after Illinois?
Dara:
if you want something in the vein of Illinois, get Michigan. it's a sure bet.
if you want something more subdued but arguably more stark and powerfully-written, i'd get Seven Swans. it's his "religious album", but it's one of the only pieces of modern religious popular music i know of that probes instead of preaches. he tries to reconcile the idea of a punishing god and a forgiving god, and the songs are really moving.
StrikeThePostman:
I'm pretty sure I have all of his albums: Illinois, Michigan, Seven Swans, and A Sun Came!
Seven Swans was my first album of his and it's really excellent. It's more serious than Illinois, and maybe less quirky than his others, but it's the only one I listen to all the way through often. Every song is very strong.
I have to admit I haven't listened to Michigan very much.
Dara:
there's also Enjoy Your Rabbit, his 'experimental' album..hear it's mostly noise/glitch type stuff. haven't really heard it. hear tell it's not bad though.
