Sufjan Steven returned earlier this year with an album that could well rank as one of the best released in 2015.
'Carrie & Lowell' was a beautiful yet heartbreaking record, with Sufjan meditating on love, grief, family and loss.
Currently on tour, the songwriter is selling a new, non-album, seven inch at his merch desk.
'Exploding Whale' has more in common with the electronics of previous record 'The Age Of Adz', but it's pared down approach and hushed delivery has a lingering beauty all of its own.
Check it out now.
