Previewing The Avalanche

Sufjan Stevens’ The Avalanche — you know, that collection of music that didn’t make it onto Illinois — drops on July 11. But the good folks at Asthmatic Kitty just can’t wait for you to hear it. So they’ll be previewing parts of the album online each week for your edification and enjoyment, right up until the album’s release. Listen to/watch the first part (requires QuickTime).
