WATCH: Sufjan Stevens's Lego video

Just in time for... Christmas?

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 02 Oct 2012

Well the sun may miraculously still be out as we move into October but, in case you didn't know, there's only 83 shopping days left to go 'till Christmas.

At least Sufjan Stevens is prepared. And he's already in the festive spirit. Some weeks back Stevens started changing his Tumblr title to "CHRISTMAS IS COMING!" and, more worryingly, "ADVENT OF THE APOCALYPSE!"

Kitty Pryde also took to Facebook to type: "just finished my christmas song for sufjan stevens....................(:"

It points towards a festive-themed album from the Illinois star and today we get a stop-motion Lego clip coupled with a disconcerting song with the lyrics, "I am Santa's helper, you are Santa's slave."

Watch below and watch this space for further updates. Oh and, by the by, it's a tiny bit NSFW.

2006-11-16 - REVIEW

It's nothing less than a joyous coincidence that Sufjan Stevens’ infinite ambition and incredible work ethic are easily matched by his talent. It now transpires that his 2005 masterpiece Illinoise - finally clocking in at a hefty 75 minutes - started life as a double set and was eventually whittled down to a 22-song album.
