Sufjan Stevens aired a brand new ten minute long track when he played at New York's Town Hall on Sunday. The singer, on the final night of a three night residency, played a two hour set, including renditions of the likes of 'Jacksonville' and 'Casimir Pulaski Day' as well as lengthy new song, 'Majesty Snowbird'. It sounds like it was a lot of fun, actually. During 'The Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts', inflatable Superman toys were thrown into the audience from the balcony and similarly, during 'That Was the Worst Christmas Ever!', inflatable Santas were tossed about. That last song, by the way, comes from Stevens' previously reported five disc Christmas box set, out 12 Nov.
