Description
Originally released in 2001 before Michigan and Illinois, Sufjan Stevens Enjoy Your Rabbit foretells his 2010 electronic Age Of Adz. Though overlooked by many, there are fans who regard Enjoy Your Rabbit as Sufjans greatest work.
Departing from the singer-songwriter format of his debut Asthmatic Kitty Records album, A Sun Came, this is a collection of fourteen colourful instrumental compositions combining Sufjans noted gift for melody with electronic sounds to create an unusually playful and human not to mention humane electronic experience. Great for dancing, driving, writing, cooking, painting, running, walking and, of course, eating Chinese food, Rabbit features nearly eighty minutes of music that will truly soothe the savage breast, whatever that means.
This may just be Sufjan Stevens Magnus Opus. Forget Michigan, Seven Swans, Illinois Enjoy Your Rabbit is a masterclass in doing everything that logic tells music not to do. Sputnik Music
Sufjan Stevens proves himself adept of both long and short forms; downtempo and high BPM; glitches, scratches and ambient drones; blips, bleeps and bloops. Pitchfork
The underlying guiding principle is wide-eyed exploration that fills nearly every track with a sense of playfulness. All Music
