Sufjan Stevens Gets On The BQE

October 20 sees the release of "The BQE" from Sufjan Stevens. Asthmatic Kitty are delivering the goods in the US, whilst Spunk Records will have the honours in Australia. "The BQE" was commissioned by the Brooklyn Academy of Music and orginally performed in October 2007. Inspired by the infamous Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, this project comes in a double-disc format (CD/DVD) which includes the original 16mm film, the original soundtrack and a 40 page booklet. Sure to be an aural and visual delight.
