Do You Mind That I'm Falling Apart?


Remember when I told you just about a month ago that Sufjan Stevens' has a new album, a collaboration with fellow musician Angelo De Augustine, coming out soon? Well A Beginner's Mind (that's what the album is called) isn't out fully until September 24th, but they've dropped several songs since that first announcement and today came two more -- one called "Fictional California" which you can hear at this link, and one called "Back to Oz" which there's a video for, seen above. An animated video! An animated video that references the 1985 classic Return to Oz of course! The theme for this record, you may recall, is The Movies -- every song was inspired by a film these two dudes bro'd out over together during the pandemic. Oh I bet they loved Princess Mombi...

I saw Return to Oz back in the day and thought it strangely intriguing, but altogether not that great. So I had to google Princess Mombi. Weird stuff.
