I saw him perform live the other night, and it was incredible. I doubt I'll ever see another show that has me alternating between laughing, dancing, and weeping, all while completely sober.

For the uninitiated: Sufjan has the soft-banjo-with-heartbreaking-lyrics thing down to a science. Combined with his ambitious forays into electronic music, sweeping orchestral arrangements and stilted/upbeat time signatures, he's built a really impressive and diverse body of work. I highly recommend you check it out!

"Should Have Known Better" is a big dose of that sweet acoustic sadness with a chaser of happy beep-boops. Hope you enjoy :)
