Sandmankev Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks for the heads up, ordered! Digging the new clip of a song and hoping that it's the direction the whole album takes. Personally, I loved the more acoustic and softer Sufjan of Seven Swans, Michigan and Illinois opposed to The Age of Adz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvham Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Ordered the clear, thanks for the heads up FYI, priority shipping was only an extra .28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admerr Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks for the heads up. I've been looking forward to some new Sufjan. I absolutely loved The Age of Adz, but a return to the acoustic folk side will be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burkazoid Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 The clear is too expensive to ship to the UK for me to justify it. Great price for you guys in the US though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achillesstand7 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Awesome, just ordered the clear. I actually just bought Seven Swans yesterday. I listened to it all the time in college but never owned it on vinyl. It may be my favorite of his, so I'm looking forward to "his return to his folk roots."

Showing as sold out for me. I was able to get one mere seconds before you guys posted this. Keep trying. my guess is the site is a bit wonky from all the traffic.

fondfarewell Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Right you are. Went through just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshman150 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Really wish he had made another album like Age of Adz, it was so unique and beautiful in it's own way. But Seven Swans is damn near perfect too, so it will be nice to hear some stuff in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsuodaironman Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Love him and all of his stuff. So this is a must have. joshman150 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkazoid Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 AK replied to me on FB when I asked about an EU clear: "The clear variant will be available in EU through your normal record purchasing channels James." So don't think the clear will be too limited. Hopefully (for me). ExtraFox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youinreverse Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hopefully he tours again for this album. The Age of Adz tour was a beautiful experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshman150 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hopefully he tours again for this album. The Age of Adz tour was a beautiful experience. That concert was amazing, the Christmas one was disappointing for me tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fondfarewell Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 And hopefully he draws a bit more heavily from the back catalog! My first (and only) time seeing him was on that tour, and he played nothing from Seven Swans or Michigan (and only three from Illinois).

joshman150 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The Age of Adz tour was entirely new just his new stuff. He did Chicago last, then for the encore only did concerning the UFO..., Casmir Pulaski Day and Jacksonville. I wasn't disappointed tho hearing him play the entire 26 minutes of impossible soul was magical. Oh and he started the show with Seven Swans.

Burkazoid Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I missed the Age of Adz tour and have been kicking myself ever since. Will pick up tickets the second if UK/Ireland shows are announced. The videos of the Impossible Soul performance are mind blowing, so I can only imagine what it would've been like to experience it in the flesh.

birdturbo Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 i was hoping that he'd keep experimenting like he did with Adz instead of simply retreating back to his old sound, but this is still cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
