Kinda sacrilege I guess to put crude lyrics over Gospel instrumentals.  |
I am a long time Sufjan fan. He is probably one of my favorite artists currently and I must say that the Tor remix/mashup was far from offensive (at least to me). In fact it is probably the only remix/mashup I've heard of Sufjan's stuff that I like.
It is kind of hard to describe his genre. Indie would be one word but I don't think anyone really knows what indie entail anymore. He has spiritual songs, especially on Seven Swans but I wouldn't call any of it gospel. He has songs with great instrumentation and composition and those which are very stripped down with just an acoustic guitar or banjo.
I think the easiest way to get a quick sampling of his music would be to search his name on youtube. His most popular song is Chicago, it was the first song of his I heard and I hated it and I still do so skip that one.
I also have some more interviews of him on my youtube page if anyone is interested. In fact I believe that video on the first page is from my channel.

There's more, but that's just the gear that I immediately recognized.
Even if only half of what he said in the interview was true it's still interesting. Actually, it's interesting whether any of it is true or not. |
I haven't seen the article or the picture you are referring to but I believe that the monitors and preamp stuff was referring to his album Michigan. He DOES use those on his recordings now I believe.
