bon iver - some serious new talent
-
Artist:
on the advice of my friend and fellow mogger, gdolorio(http://mog.com/gdolario ), we headed out to the independent last night in san francisco to check out bon iver. i'm usually pretty weary of "singer songwriters" types lately. too often the hype doesn't live up to the talent for me. i know i'll get some haters but i put iron/wine, ray lamontagne, in this category.so, i was really pretty impressed with these guys. lead singer had some killer, neil young, emotionally charged, electric leads. he was doing the falsetto, precious voice thing, but in a good way. the way antony (antony & the johnsons) or thom yorke can pull it off. he's THAT good. leans a little more towards the soulful prince style falsetto then the other cats. drummer was fantastically attentive. i felt it with them. the real deal.left wanting more.
