Sufjan Stevens announces fall tour

For the first time in over a year, multi-instrumentalist and American history buff Sufjan Stevens has announced an extensive set of tour dates, this time with labelmates My Brightest Diamond. According to an Asthmatic Kitty press release, this tour "will feature no cheerleading outfits...suit coats, neckties and corsages might be more appropriate." Interesting. Could we say that Sufjan has grown up? I loved the dancing as much as the next guy, but I think this is better.

Mr. Stevens will be premiering some new music on this tour, so make sure to bring your Talkboy. And go pretty much anywhere in the country that isn't New England. Dates below:
