Album Details
Originally released in 2001 before Michigan and Illinois, Sufjan Steven’s Enjoy Your Rabbit, is an album of programmatic songs for the animals of the Chinese Zodiac, and foretells his 2010 electronic Age of Adz. Though overlooked by many, there are fans who regard Enjoy Your Rabbit as Sufjan’s greatest work. Departing from the singer-songwriter format of his debut Asthmatic Kitty Records album, A Sun Came, Enjoy Your Rabbit is a collection of fourteen colorful instrumental compositions combining Sufjan’s noted gift for melody with electronic sounds to create an unusually playful and human - not to mention humane - electronic experience. Great for dancing, driving, writing, cooking, painting, running, walking, and of course, eating Chinese food, Enjoy Your Rabbit features nearly eighty minutes of music that will truly soothe the savage breast, whatever that means.
