Sufjan Stevens : Exploding Whale : Epic Fail 7" (2015)

-          Latest single released close enough to include it as a Record Store Day surprise.

-          Just released his 6th album, Carrie and Lowell.

-          It is widely regarded as his and the year's best so far.

-          One of the most talented musicians that I've been able to enjoy every step of the way.
