Sufjan Stevens Releasing 'Enjoy Your Rabbit' First Vinyl Pressing

These days, Sufjan Stevens seems more likely to give people typography or grammar lessons than release a new album, but he will be making up for this by digging into the archives and giving his 2001 effort Enjoy Your Rabbit a vinyl pressing.

An Insound listing reports that this wax version will arrive on June 10 through Asthmatic Kitty. This will be the first-ever vinyl pressing, having initially been released only on CD. The original 14-song tracklist appears to have been preserved, so don't look for any bonus material to be included.

Asthmatic Kitty also posted a photo of the vinyl test pressing on Twitter today (May 14).

The album was made a few years before Stevens made a splash in the orchestral folk world with albums like Michigan and Illinois. It consists of experimental electronic instrumentals based around the animals of the zodiac.

In 2009, the album was reworked on strings as Run Rabbit Run.
