At around an hour long, it’s quite difficult to see why Sufjan Steven’s new release is an EP and not an LP - not that these designations actually mean anything in this age anyway. The opener is a 12-minute meander that soars to theatrical heights and brings to mind his Bond theme-esque Dark Was The Night contribution ‘You Are The Blood’, but it does - as so many extended Sufjan songs do - give the impression of several songs tacked together haphazardly. The closer is even more extravagant, presented as an extended prog jam and resembling Floyd at their most indulgent. Adept as ever at timbral blending, Sufjan lets banjo, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, and innumerable other acoustic instruments bleed into one another, creating a beautiful constellation of sound throughout the record.
