gmoney Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Originally released in 2001 before Michigan and Illinois, Sufjan Steven's Enjoy Your Rabbit foretells his 2010 electronic Age of Adz. Though overlooked by many, there are fans who regard Enjoy Your Rabbit as Sufjan's greatest work. Departing from the singer-songwriter format of his debut Asthmatic Kitty Records album, A Sun Came, Rabbit is a collection of fourteen colorful instrumental compositions combining Sufjan's noted gift for melody with electronic sounds to create an unusually playful and human- not to mention humane- electronic experience. Out May 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I've never checked this out... how do fellow Sufjan enthusiasts feel about it? I enjoy Adz quite a bit, and don't find its electronic elements all that jarring, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 That's pretty unfortunate. I'll definitely have to check it out instead of taking a gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 i almost enjoy the osso record more. i just want a sun came and avalanche. when AK tweeted that this was their anniversary early this year, i replied and said those two need to be issued on vinyl. they favorited the tweet... so that's something.

Burkazoid Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Sufjan is probably my favourite artist and yet I rarely ever listen to this album. Press "The Avalanche" please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitterhappier Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Not my fave my Sufjan but still would like to add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyfoz Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Sufjan is one of my top favorites and I think I've only listened to Enjoy Your Rabbit maybe twice. The Osso version is definitely better in my opinion, but would much rather see A Sun Came pressed, which I think is pretty underrated.

gmoney Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Just a further update. 2xLP. Single jacket. $20 SRP. - Comes in red/clear, green/clear, white/clear, and blue/clear colored vinyl sets.

itsgoodtobefree Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Preorder here: http://www.elusivedisc.com/Sufjan-Stevens-Enjoy-Your-Rabbit-2LP/productinfo/ADALP59196/ Probably worth waiting for an Athsmatic Kitty preorder, but that's one nevertheless.

thedannychang Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Pre-order is up direct from label: http://store.asthmatickitty.com/products/enjoy-your-rabbit As stated before in this thread, there are four variants for A/B vinyl (translucent red, translucent green, translucent blue, solid white). All C/D vinyl are clear. I believe the variants are random. Shipping is quite a bit (around $10 - doesn't seem like there's a media mail option), but I think it's worth it to support an awesome label like Asthmatic Kitty. Wanted to pick up a Sufjan shirt anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitterhappier Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 yeah, $9 for shipping is kind of annoying but at least they're only charging $16 for 2LPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
