Sufjan Stevens 'Exploding Whale'
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.
Tracklisting:
Side A
Exploding Whale.

Fourth of July (PPD Remix).
