Artist: Sufjan Stevens

Album: Illinoise

Reason: Sufjan, however you say his name, is somewhat of a acquired taste. His song writing ability is what first got my attention. His words paint a picture of where he is. Perhaps the sites you might see if you drove around Chicago or the state of Michigan if you're listening to that album. The instrument selection is very interesting, kind of makes you feel like you've fallen into the dark forgotten band room of your high school, who knows what you'll hear.
