Sufjan Stevens: The BQE

Sufjan Stevens hasn't quite finished his project to record an album for every State in the US, but that doesn't mean he's slowed down his work rate. The next album The BQE is "a grand creative franchise-incorporating movie, symphony, comic book, dissertation, photography, graphic design, and a 3-D Viewmaster® reel" based on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway - a road in New York. It's all out in October, and is an all-instrumental affair
