SUFJAN STEVENS - EXPLODING WHALE [2025]
Release Date: Friday 18 July 2025
Asthmatic Kitty Records
10 Year anniversary 7 inch vinyl pressing
This song was released just after Carrie & Lowell and was originally intended to be a tour-only 7", but was later distributed online by Asthmatic Kitty in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the exploding whale incident. Like many songs on Carrie & Lowell, this song has references to Oregon. The Exploding Whale Incident was a famous "epic fail" incident that happened in Florence, Oregon in 1970, when a dead sperm whale washed up on a beach. It began to smell horrible so the Highway Department took it upon themselves to solve the problem by attempting to disintegrate the whale carcass with dynamite.
Tracklist
A. Exploding Whale
B. Fourth Of July (PPD Remix)
