The Sufjan influence is incredibly apparent, but I think it has something that I always thought was missing in Sufjan's music...the strong lead (here bluesy) guitar parts, which when interweaved with the horn section here, sounds nothing short of awesome. I might be a fool for a good horn section, but there's something about this track that I feel as though I'll be listening to it quite a few times over the course of the day...and maybe tomorrow as well.
I am very excited for this record to come out.
