The new Sufjan Stevens album won’t officially be out until July 5, but you can get it shipped to you today if you order it direct from the label.

And it’s $10! Best $10 you’ll spend today, I warrant. This’ll be on many Album of the Year lists come December.

(And, for only $7 more, you can add this so-ugly-it-approaches-a-sort-of-beauty poster.)

MP3s: Casimir Pulaski Day, gorgeous and sad; The Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts, an ode to Superman that’s as close as Sufjan gets to rocking out; John Wayne Gacy, Jr. (“And in my best behavior / I am really just like him / Look beneath the floor boards / For the secrets I have hid”). Full album lyrics here (end of page).
