The latest music issue from Believer magazine (yes, that's the band Lightning Bolt on the cover and the artwork is done, once more, by Charles Burns) looks like it will give up it's best compilation yet this year. With Sufjan Stevens and Zach Condon (Beirut) both drawing up tracks especially for this CD and great songs like Oxford Collapse's "Please Visit Your National Parks" and of Montreal's "Du Og Meg", this is one to track down at your local indie mag shop. And that's not even mentioning the stellar writing to be found on it's lovely advertising-free pages.This new song by Sufjan is a rocker. Starting out with a guitar that sounds like something off The Beatles White Album and, well, that tried and true guitar sound continues throughout with Stevens talk-singing and even squealing. It's a good song and worth hearing if just to marvel at the fact that this is the same guy who gave us songs like "Chicago" and "Sister".
