Sufjan Stevens - The Avalanche (Outtakes & Extras) - LP

2LP, Outtakes & Extras from Illinois

The Avalanche gathers outtakes and extras from the sessions for Sufjan Stevens' 2005 landmark Illinois, including three different versions of "Chicago." Originally conceived as part of a double-album version of Illinois, these 21 songs range from full-band arrangements to intimate folk, several pointing back toward his earlier Michigan and ahead to his more personal later work. Issued on 2xLP.
