Sufjan Stevens first gave us the album Michigan and then Come On Feel The Illinoise, vowing to release an album for each of the United States of America.  And that was the end of it.  From there Stevens ventured off to Adz, maneuvered orchestrally in the light, and then went completely Christmas (repeatedly).  Today on his Tumblr, Stevens released an untitled song that on first blush seems to wrap up the Fifty-States Project in one fell swoop. The song opens as follows: “It’s part of the act, the fifty states, pack up your bags, it’s never too late.”  We haven’t done a full State-audit, but the song does seem to call out every remaining non-Michigan, non-Illinois state in the union.  It’s not the completion many states had stridently sought, but it does wrap it up so that Stevens can move on.  You can listen to the new song HERE.  Pack up your bags!  It’s never too late!
