Sufjan Stevens is playing at the Uptown on October 17. You’ve only got a month to get adjusted to Sufjan’s revamped sound! Check out the stream of The Age of Adz from NPR, and you’ll find the album opening with a beautifully meandering track that sounds a bit like the melancholy depression of Michigan, disembodied and abstracted into a less immediate, human sound. The next number finds Sufjan’s signature “Chicago” exuberance, amplified with electronic confetti. After that, you’re on your own, kids.
