Listen: Sufjan Stevens – “The Star-Spangled Banner”

Apparently there was this thing called the “US Election” and “some guy” won it, but none of that really matters because Sufjan released a new song! Okay, so yeah, it’s a version of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” which seems to have been released primarily because of the election, but still, it’s great to have a properly recorded version (live versions of Sufjan performing it have been circling around for some time). Have a listen below, via Sufjan’s Soundcloud.

You might also notice that Sufjan has uploaded a few more festive songs, from his Songs For Christmas boxset. Have a listen to another version of “Angels We have Heard On High” below, too, and head over to his Soundcloud to hear a few more ditties.
