Over the weekend, classically-minded indie star Sufjan Stevens took the stage at Barcelona's Primavera Sound festival where he played choice cuts from his entire catalogue. On top of that, he also gave the stripped down, acoustic cover treatment to R.E.M.'s "The One I Love."

We have YouTube footage of the whole track, and while the visuals are a little blurry, Stevens' striking and intimate performance of the song sounds pretty great. Check it out below.

Thanks to Prefix for the heads up.
