{"product_id":"sufjan-stevens-adz-cd","title":"The Age of Adz CD","description":"It was Hunter S. Thompson who wrote, \u003ci\u003eWhen the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.\u003c\/i\u003e  It couldn't apply more to the work of Sufjan Stevens, who seems to have found a new way of communicating with his 2010 release, The Age of Adz (pronounced \u003ci\u003eoddz\u003c\/i\u003e).  After a few gentle guitar notes on the opener, \u003ci\u003eFutile Devices,\u003c\/i\u003e Adz turns towards electronics that connect and splinter Stevens' worldview and psychic well-being.  The percussion turns brittle for \u003ci\u003eToo Much\u003c\/i\u003e and the spacey reverbs laced throughout give things a disjointed feel as the title track, \u003ci\u003eI Walked\u003c\/i\u003e and the choir-doom of \u003ci\u003eNow That I'm Older\u003c\/i\u003e spread out across the universe.  \u003ci\u003eGet Real Get Right\u003c\/i\u003e sounds like a dance party where everyone freaks out and speaks in tongues. This child of Talking Heads loves his rhythms but he also loves his avant-garde textures.  \u003ci\u003eBad Communication\u003c\/i\u003e lives up to its title.  \u003ci\u003eVesuvius\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAll By Myself\u003c\/i\u003e find an inner calm amongst the chaos.  \u003ci\u003eImpossible Soul\u003c\/i\u003e is an incredibly long closing track that further underscores Stevens' grand ambitions. - itunes \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: October 12, 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Asthmatic Kitty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 656605607726\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772338497,"sku":"Sufjan Stevens (13)","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Sufjan_Stevens_The_Age_of_Adz_CD.jpg?v=1748614609","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/sufjan-stevens-adz-cd","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
