Ease into real life with Sufjan Stevens’ bittersweet musings on the human condition as filtered through, “So You Are Tired,” the first single ahead of his forthcoming LP Javelin (due Oct. 16). Plus, Noname’s latest Sundial, Baxter Dury’s I Thought I Was Better Than You, and barreling towards a second week in a row as KCRW’s most played album — Jungle’s Volcano.
