Electronic warbles start the track before off-rhythm beats kick in, with dissonance wavering in the background. In fact, even when Sufjan starts singing almost 50 seconds into the track, you'll still swear this is a Ratatat remix and not from Sufjan's first proper full-length album since 2005.
Still, it's not like this is totally unexpected, as Stevens' early releases were mostly electronica. And anyway, this track is still heavily orchestrated, just in a different way — with choruses, strings, piano and brass floating behind electronic blips and bloops — and, most importantly, immensely enjoyable.
