Sufjan Stevens | Sugar
Sufjan Stevens has revealed a new song from his forthcoming album The Ascension. The track is titled “Sugar” and there’s a new music video for it as well. Stevens gave some insight on the track, saying it “is ultimately about the desire for goodness and purity (and true sustenance). On the surface the song is just a string of clichés, but the message is imperative: now is the time to gather what is good and pure and valuable and make it your own, and share it with others.”
Stevens’ new album is due out next Friday, September 25.
