Listen to both below.I never thought I would be able to film Sufjan. It’s a bit Zappa-esque.Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine are releasing a new collaborative album together, A Beginner’s Mind, on September 24 via Asthmatic Kitty and now they have shared two new songs from it, “Cimmerian Shade” and “You Give Death a Bad Name.” The album is inspired by different films, with “Cimmerian Shade” taking inspiration from 1991’s Silence of the Lambs and “You Give Death a Bad Name” being inspired by 1968’s zombie classic Night of the Living Dead. I’ll feature a very interesting song from Silver and Gold tonight, Christmas Woman. His music is fairly polarizing even to fans. Volume 2 of Stevens’ Christmas Collections is titled Silver and Gold a 59 song effort with very Sufjan takes on classics and lots of originals.

But in this instance, I was interested in how a character felt about being created. De Augustine had this to say about the song in a press release: “Many authors have emotional attachments to the characters they create. “Cimmerian Shade” is sung from the perspective of Silence of the Lambs’ serial killer Buffalo Bill (aka Jame Gumb, as played by Ted Levine).

They wrote in tandem—one person writing a verse, the other a chorus, churning out chord progressions and lyrics willy-nilly, often finishing each other’s sentences in the process. “Back to Oz” was one of our Songs of the Week.A previous press release described the album in more detail: “The resulting album is 14 songs (loosely) based on (mostly) popular films—highbrow, lowbrow and everything in between. Then they shared two more songs from it, “Back to Oz” (inspired by 1985’s Return to Oz and shared via a video) and “Fictional California” (inspired by 2004’s direct-to-video cheerleading comedy sequel Bring It On Again). The song is essentially a dialogue between creation and creator that seeks to find understanding to some of the same questions that we ask ourselves about existence, free will, fate, purpose, guidance and if anyone or anything out there is listening or cares.”When the album was announced, Stevens and De Augustine shared two songs from it, “Reach Out” and “Olympus.” The former was shared via a VHS-shot video featuring their dogs Joku and Charlie and was one of our Songs of the Week.
De Augustine’s most recent album was 2019’s Tomb. His artwork appears on the cover of both the album and three 7-inches singles from the album.Earlier this year Stevens released the five-volume album Convocations.
