Denny Renshaw/Asthmatic Kitty Records Sufjan Stevens, an indie singer-songwriter from Detroit. Sufjan Stevens could hardly get his second song off for the almost presidential wave of applause following the first. Walking eagerly through the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Friday night's sold-out crowd was excited well before the Detroit-born singer took the stage in silver rock star pants with a 10-piece band complete with two drummers and horns.

But following Stevens' relaxed delivery of 'All Delighted People,' the audience unloaded its built-up adoration as if the set had just ended. A few songs later, they were quieted. They were stunned. For the first 90 minutes, Stevens, who rose to fame on 2005's indie folk 'Illinoise,' stuck to the two records he released this year, 'All Delighted People EP' and 'The Age of Adz,' and blasted the room with throbs of sound and racing video featuring images of space ships and faux religious icons created by the late Louisiana outsider artist Royal Robertson, who Stevens explained inspired much of the music.

Stevens also thanked the audience for having the 'patience and fortitude' to listen to his new music, which defies conventional structure. A few attendees rightfully shouted back, 'No, thank you!' Because, while it probably wasn't what most people expected, Stevens masterfully manipulated the mood in a show that could be called performance art as easily as a concert, and after recovering from the initial sensory overload, the audience got the hang of it. In a bit of abstract theater, Stevens and his two female backup singers did yoga-like pantomime as they recited the opening lines to 'Vesuvius' in front of two stories of animated fire.

Perhaps the most surreal moments were the raves for which Stevens donned a clear plastic visor. First the bleak and trancy 'I Walked' and then the latter half of the sinuous, 25-minute disco party jam 'Impossible Soul' which found the band in everything from leis to a bird costume with pulsing rainbows behind them.

The Album: (2003) The Song: “Oh Detroit, Lift Up Your Weary Head! Reconsider!)” The Word: Maximalist Sufjan Stevens’ music, with its frequent deployment of repetitive melodic and rhythmic loops, has often been compared to the minimalist music of composers such as Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and Phillip Glass.

While it may be minimalist in musico-technical terms, the overarching aesthetic of much of Stevens’ music could only be described as maximalist. Take, for example, “Oh Detroit, Lift Up Your Weary Head! Reconsider!)” from 2003’s Michigan. The track begins inconspicuously enough, with bells playing a short and simple repeated pattern. They soon fade into the background, however, as more percussion joins in, then piano and brass, then the drums, and finally an ensemble of oboes (yes, oboes!). Before we’ve even reached the thirty second mark, a densely textured groove has been established, bursting with energy, color, and rhythmic vitality. Should we throw a chorus in there too (2:36)?

Sure, why not! For Stevens, more is more.

Less is more, too. That is to say: the “less” of minimalism (a relatively economical set of musical materials, repeated many times over) is ultimately made to serve the broader maximalist aesthetic, as in the opening of “Oh Detroit.” Plus, all of that looping and repetition builds tension, which is more often than not released in a climactic moment, as in the song’s wonderfully cacophonous zenith (4:18). And the best part? For listeners, Stevens’ maximalist taste means that his music is eternally renewable—you will never run out of new details to discover. More songs like this: “Come On!
