Sufjan Stevens has made music about historical events, roadways – even serial killers. But his latest project, electro-pop album "The Age of Adz" (pronounced "odds"), is an inward-focused project dealing with the primal side of themes like love and death. Plus, there's a whole cosmic thing going on too. Before back-to-back concerts in Prospect Park next month, he joins us to perform live in the studio.
Sufjan Stevens will perform two benefit concerts for Celebrate Brooklyn, on August 2nd and 3rd, 2011. More information here.

Beautiful! I am such a fan of Sufjan, Rosie Thomas and almost anyone associated with Sufjan Stevens. I've seen him a few times in Philly and will see him anytime I can. Is there any way I could download these WNYC Soundchecks? I'd so like to have them as part of my iTunes library.
Thanks for posting this and keeping it active. I would buy anything you recorded during this session.
Thanks,
Mike
