“This may just be Sufjan Stevens’ Magnus Opus. Forget Michigan, Seven Swans, Illinois…EYR is a master class in doing everything that logic tells music not to do.” Sputnik Music
Sufjan Stevens mixes autobiography, religious fantasy, and regional history to create folk songs of grand proportions. For Enjoy Your Rabbit, he created an album an electronic album for the animals of the Chinese zodiac. It’s an album that completely shows off a different side of Stevens’ broad talent. This version features a clear vinyl LP with swirls and a companion white LP.
“Using almost no exterior samples, Stevens crafts an electronic, all-‘instrumental’ song cycle based on the symbols of the Chinese zodiac. While working within these considerably narrower confines, he still maps out a wide musical territory by using each symbol as a mode, each one exploring different textures and tempos and, in the process, evoking a surprising array of moods. At times eerie and ominous like a backwoods Autechre, other times sounding like more club-oriented fare, Stevens sometimes trades in bloops and bleeps for oblique glitches and crackles, but the underlying guiding principle is wide-eyed exploration that fills nearly every track with a sense of playfulness.” — AllMusic.com
