Sufjan will be appearing on Paper Bag Records kid’s compilation entitled “See You On The Moon!”  This compilation also includes our good friend Rosie Thomas and other wonderful musicians such as Kid Koala, Alan Sparhawk (of Low), and Great Lake Swimmers (of the lovely Misra label roster).  The record will be available in stores in February.

Press Release:

Once upon a time in a land far away three magical dwarves turning the cogs at Paper Bag Records, set to work creating something a little different amidst the foggy haze of indie rock. Avid music fans since birth, the dwarves decided to make a record that kids could listen to with their parents and in turn make all future, long car journeys a pleasure. Instead of releasing plastic, tacky, gimmicky, and not to mention annoying, ditties, Paper Bag Records has made something else?

See You On The Moon! is our offering to kids all over the world. We noticed that most of the time kids are far more intelligent than the adults surrounding them. We can only hope this peace offering of eclectic, new and exclusive tracks will do the trick!

In return for simple, elf magic our friends Alan Sparhawk (of Low), Apostle of Hustle, Broken Social Scene, Detective Kalita, FemBots, Glissandro 70 (of Polmo Polpo), Great Lake Swimmers, Hot Chip, Junior Boys, Kid Koala (with special guest Lederhosen Lucil), Mark Kozelek (of Sun Kil Moon/Red House Painters), Montag, Rosie Thomas and Sufjan Stevens all made very special tracks just for this project. Throwing condescension out the window and understanding the concept of fun without it being mindless or moronic – all the tracks will appeal to kids and grown ups alike.

With See You On The Moon! pumping through sound systems worldwide, once the kids have forgiven us, we will all live happily ever after.
