Pitchfork reported yesterday that Sufjan and Rosie have recorded an album in NYC along with Denison Witmer. There is no release date yet, but the album is expected to drop later this year:

In an email to Pitchfork, Thomas said, “[Sufjan and I] both decided that it would be refreshing and fun to just record some songs together on a whim and we did. The songs came out so good that we decided to finish the project this winter, and what I hoped would be an EP surprisingly turned into a full length.” For the winter wrap-up, Rosie enlisted Witmer to add instrumentation and engineer.

“It was all a very organic process,” mused Witmer via email. “The three of us have toured together a lot in the past, and I’m sure that had something to do with planting the idea in [Rosie’s] mind. She (well, all of us) just wanted to have a fun, stress free, relaxing time recording with friends. As far as I know, that’s our only real agenda at this point.”

In other news, PFM also confirmed gossip that Rosie and Sufjan are having a baby… for real.
