M.H. & His Orchestra

Hey guys! Missed me? I’ve been away at camp all summer and have greatly missed discovering and sharing music with all the amazing readers of Knox Road. So upon my return, I have good news for you, and for me: I found a really special, cool album for us all to […]

The Good Natured covers Sufjan Stevens

Why not listen to a lovely Friday cover of the real Sufjan Stevens (“For The Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti”)? I kid, I kid. Sorta.

In Case You Missed It: Week In Review

I fully moved into my new apartment in NYC, football season started, the hurricane that was, wasn’t, and we all remembered September 11. A busy week, yes, but the blogging must go on. Because I say so. [Photo via]

Wednesday: [MP3] The Smooth Maria: “Abandoned Town”

Thursday: [MP3] Arran Arctic: “Interrupt Me”

[Stream/MP3] Sufjan Stevens: “I Walked”

Well Sufjan really likes surprises. First the out-of-nowhere All Delighted People EP, then the news of his long-awaited new full-length, The Age of Adz, and now a stream of one of the tracks from Adz! This guy knows just what we want and he’s delivering. The track is definitely not quite what we’re used […]

Sufjan announces new album, “The Age of Adz”

The day has come! Put down your worn-out copy of Illinois and get ready for The Age of Adz, Sufjan Stevens’ LOOOONG awaited new (song-based) album. On the heels of the mysteriously surprising All Delighted People EP last week, Sufjan has announced the release of the new album (pronounced The Age Of Odds) officially […]

Hey everyone, let’s stream the brand new out-of-nowhere Sufjan Stevens EP

Sufjan Stevens EP, what?? I don’t know, took me by surprise too. I really don’t have anything to say at the moment, I’m stunned into silence. It’s called All Delighted People, and it’s available for streaming and $5 purchase on the not-quite-prolific artist’s bandcamp.

Take a sneaky peek below. I’m personally only about […]

Sam Billen covers The Postal Service, Sufjan, and more on Removers

Late night email for the ages. We were just sent a few tunes from Sam Billen off his Removers album, with remixes and covers that range from Sufjan Stevens to Deastro to The Postal Service. His voice has a fragile melancholic ting, and he adds a bit of dreaminess to the songs with airy […]

[MP3] Sufjan Stevens: "The Sleeping Red Wolves"

Of course Sufjan slipped a secret b-side onto The BQE. How did I not see this coming? It’s vintage (or should I say, Michigan era) Sufjan, with enveloping, falsetto harmonies and orchestral leanings. This track obviously was meant to be entirely different than the rest of The BQE, as it’s a song we’d […]

Sufjan is free of conceptual restraints (read: new album coming!)

Sufjan Stevens has been popping his head out of the muck of obscurity a bit in the past few months, which is great because he rocks. He’s said in interviews, though, that he’s been in something of a creative rut, which explains the lack of a new album. His most recent is Illinoise, […]

[Video] Sufjan plays awesome new song live

The artist: The incomparable Sufjan Stevens. The song: “Too Much Love” (according to the title of the video). It’s a 7-minute epic played by Sufjan at a show in Ithaca Wednesday that features brass, synth, guitar, piano and a whole lot of talent. The quality of the video is pretty outstanding for YouTube. And […]
