Sufjan Stevens’ Illinois gets mashed up
Paste just named Sufjan Stevens’ Illinois the best record of the 2000's, and it's tough not to agree. Now the seminal album has earned one of the other highest honors of the indie-pop world: the hip-hop mash-up mix-tape. Tor, a Montreal-based producer, has taken tracks from a few Sufjan projects—Illinois, A Sun Came, Seven Swans, and Songs For Christmas—and combines them with bangers from Outkast, Gift Of Gab, Aesop Rock, and more. The result, Illinoize, is pretty great, with ethereal choruses balancing out the bassy verses. Definitely worth a listen.
If you're too lazy to hop over just yet, give the lead-off track a listen. Via YouTube:
