Album Review

Sufjan Stevens' second release, Enjoy Your Rabbit, is a vast departure from the pan-ethnic folk of his debut. Using almost no exterior samples, Stevens crafts an electronic, all-"instrumental" song cycle based on the symbols of the Chinese zodiac. While working within these considerably narrower confines, he still maps out a wide musical territory by using each symbol as a mode, each one exploring different textures and tempos and, in the process, evoking a surprising array of moods. At times eerie and ominous like a backwoods Autechre, other times sounding like more club-oriented fare, Stevens sometimes trades in bloops and bleeps for oblique glitches and crackles, but the underlying guiding principle is wide-eyed exploration that fills nearly every track with a sense of playfulness. Enjoy Your Rabbit never gets too serious, although at times it's very intense. Many tracks even have some sort of musical pun working just under the surface; for instance, "Year of the Horse" is by far the longest, clocking in at over 13 minutes, and "Year of the Ox" has a regular, heavy thudding beat.

Customer Reviews

A Marvel!

For anyone with a true understanding of what music is capable of, know that Sufjan has pushed and harnessed these boundaries. As a music major at the University of Utah, I would say this is one of the single most creative and well versed albums of our day. Sufjan has bridged the gap between atonal and modern popular electronic music. So fresh, and so accomplished. Thank you Sufjan for sharing your brilliant intellect with us.

I love Sufjan Stevens and think he is a modern composer genuis. Though this CD is not like his others that are more popular, I love it. He really takes modern music to a whole new level and opens up the musical mind. I love to see that a popular musician, like Stevens, would incorporate modern classical music techniques into his compositions. I am studying music at an University as my major and I give Sufjan an A+ for his earlier music like this album. Enjoy.
