One of the most beautiful albums on 2007 was Bon Iver's For Emma Forever Ago. Understated, melodic and all around-gorgeous, For Emma was the type of album that stuck with the listener for weeks, sometimes months, afterward the first listen and made appearances on many "Best of The Year" lists. However, those waiting for a follow up are going to be waiting a very long time as front man Justin V...

For those expecting a follow up to For Emma, Forever Ago listening to Unmap will feel a little like walking into a new age shop by mistake. The crystals look nice, the incense smells good but there's not much more to it and you have to walk out sheepishly in search of something with more substance....more here.

Last night at a sold out show in San Francisco, Justin Vernon (the man behind Bon Iver), announced to the crowd that after this tour the band was taking a break. Or in his own words via Spinner: “"This is the last tour that we’re doing with this thing, and after this we’re going to take a break,” Vernon told the audience. Thanking not just his fellow musicians onstage but also the entire c

All Photos by Scott ChernisIt seems only trivial that the bigger the venue, the larger the audience, the less intimate the performance, but Bon Iver isn't trivial. Playing to a sold out crowd of approximately 2,300 at Oakland's new Fox Theater, Bon Iver and opener Megafaun created one of the most memorable performances I've seen to date. His self-released debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago, cat...

Sometimes an album is more the recording of a cataclysmic life event than an amalgamation of in studio bursts of creativity. The much written about, much discussed Bon Iver debut, For Emma, Forever Ago, is just that. Just as you've probably heard, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon holed himself up in a cabin in the remote wilderness of Northwestern Wisconsin and lived a simple existence, mostly for the ...

Before I listened to this I thought "What the fuck could a DJ do with Bon Iver?" One of the beautiful things about Bon Iver's music to me is the strong, organic human factor. A DJ mix would definitely take away from the sound. Well, just like the time I squeezed a glass with my hand to prove that it wouldn't break, I was painfully wrong. It works. Glad I checked this out. Thanks to The World In...

Before we probably ever knew of a musician from Wisconsin named Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) and his amazing debut ‘For Emma, Forever Ago’, another record was taking form. A collaboration between Justin Vernon and Milwaukee band Collections of Colonies of Bees, ultimately created Unmap (Sept 22nd, JagJaguwar) under the name Volcano Choir.Its been three years [...]

You might know a lot of artists by one or two songs of theirs that you like a lot. Sometimes it takes me a while to really dig into an artist's full catalogue. Sometimes I never do, and I'm sure there's a lot of music that I'm missing out on because of it. So here are some great songs by artists that some people may only know for one or two singles. That's Bon Iver in the pic. Bon Iver - Fl...

Not much new [worth posting], so here's a few that have been sitting on my desktop including a radio rip of the new Fall Out Boy/Lil' Wayne collabo. You'll also find a new Carlito and D12 joint, a Justice style dance track from The Bloody Beetroots, and an awesome version of "Flume" by Bon Iver done in the MOKB studio. Also a graph. Check out this site if you need rap songs represented as gr...
