Dear Mr. Supercomputer: New Sufjan Song From The Avalanche

Today's special find comes to us via Pitchfork - it's another new one from the upcoming Sufjan release, The Avalanche. This is what Pitchfork has to say about the exclusive mp3:

"Apparently excising whatever didn't fit the airtight theme of Illinois (haha) meant at least one real sacrifice. Here Sufjan gathers the usual suspects-- the community-choir backup vocals, all that percussion, and tooting horns-- to build a wall of sound representing the all-powerful "supercomputer," while using clipped, breathless vocals to stand in for a flummoxed Matthew Broderick (or maybe David against a moustache-stroking multi-instrumental Goliath?). Said choir and said tooting cascade up and down "Dear Mr Supercomputer" in thrilling Stereolab-like drones over metronomic drums, breaking for a brief eyebrow-lifting guitar line more rhythmic than any from the album it wasn't good enough for. Illinois could have used this fleeting moment of instrumental brawn, the kind of super-arranger sleight-of-hand that can politely overwhelm."

Enjoy.

Dear Mr. Supercomputer
