Discover Music Project: Episode 57


Listen Later

Jonny and guest Andy Goergen are back for more DMP with an exciting young musician named Sufjan Stevens. We always aim for diverse playlists, but this one might be one of the craziest ones yet. It starts with incredibly complex arrangements, moves into reflective acoustic songs, and ends up in electronic territory and Christmas songs. Somewhere in there is one of the best Bob Dylan covers ever recorded. Through it all, you'll get Sufjan's delicate vocals and intelligent lyrics, plus over a dozen instruments all played by the man himself. This is unclassifiable music, and we encourage you to stay on the ride until it comes to a complete stop. Here are the songs:

1. Chicago (Come On, Feel the Illinoise!)

2. Come On! Feel the Illinoise! (Come On Feel the Illinoise!) 

3. John Wayne Gacy, Jr. (Come On Feel the Illinoise!)

4. For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fathers in Ypsilanti (Greetings From Michigan - The Great Lakes State)

5. To Be Alone With You (Seven Swans)

6. Ring Them Bells (I'm Not Here Soundtrack)

7. Age of Adz (The Age of Adz)

8. I Want to Be Well (The Age of Adz)

9. Joy to the World (Christmas Infinity Voyage)

Andrew Bird - Skin Is, My (Andrew Bird and the Mysterious Production of Eggs)
