Sufjan Stevens boring? 

Sufjan Stevens has been an indie god for so long now I sometimes forget how it happened. One thing is for sure, once an "it" artist reaches deity status it is sacrilege to not heap praise upon them at every turn. But, a lone music fan dared to speak out against the winged darling.

Stereogum posted a link to a new track called "Barn Owl, Night Killer" from what may be either an upcoming bird or New Jersey (or both) themed record. In the comments, someone writes "Is it me or is Sufjan Stevens getting boring?" Of course, the writer is aware of the scorn that will come their way so they couch their questioning with an approving "I really love the stuff he does, but everything is really starting to sound REALLY similar."

Blasphemy? Or is someone here a prophet of new indie gospel? Wake me when the song is over and we'll hunt this Judas down.

Comments:
I think Devandra, Sufijan, and Joanna (newsom) should all bore each other to death and be done with it. Though something tells me Sufijan is going to write about all 50 states whether we like it or not.
