Sufjan and his banjo sing about Jesus.
I'm profoundly ambivalent about Sufjan...well, ambivalent might not be the right word...let's go with conflicted. On one hand he's a great number of things I hate: precious, kinda fey, way too mellow, "spiritual"...but then on the other hand he can write one hell of a melody. Even this song with it's banjo's, it's biblical allusions, and it's relentless twee-ness is still almost insufferably catchy...and the guy does know how to keep his cloying tendancies enough at bay that they don't overwhelm...usually.
