Sufjan Stevens has said that his plan to write an album about every one of the US states was a bit daft. Well, with the greatest respect, he's probably not the first person to come to that conclusion. The American musician, FYI, those not paying attention at the back, has so far released two state related albums, 'Greetings From Michigan: The Great Lake State', and 'Illinoise'.
Stevens told Paste magazine: "The whole premise was such a joke. Maybe I took it too seriously. I started to feel like I was becoming a clichŽ of myself".
