Justin Vernon reportedly made his new album called For Emma, Forever Ago and out early February on Jagjaguwar, in near total isolation, in a remote cabin in northern Wisconsin, surrounded by snow and trees. I've been listening to it late at night mostly, and it's really wonderful, high and ghostly and filled with otherworldly harmonies, folky maybe, but also somehow like choral church music. ...

My latest, greatest obsession, Bon Iver and their song 'Skinny Love'...its beautifully understated and a little haunting I think...a gorgeous tune

There is something mysterious about seeing a telephone line slung across acres of snow fields in February. The staggered black line strung out, sagging like a mule’s saddled back, the hundred thousand voices weighing through the weaves of tiny wires, nearly touching one another but never being known until they empty into someone’s ear on the other end. I wonder what the voices would look like

Category: Soft, Acoustic, Folk, BeardsRating: 9.4Maybe it's the air, the weather, the cold... maybe it's something internal, some deep broken piece that never quite healed right... regardless, the newest album from Bon Iver hits like a quiet, gentle punch to the heart.Honestly, without reservation, as far as acoustic, high-pitched, threadbare folk goes - this is the best new song i've heard al...

Bon Iver had one of the best albums of 2008 with For Emma, Forever Ago . It was his first album and it was recorded in a cabin with little help from outside sources. I'm looking forward to hearing his new material, and I'm hoping all this attention hasn't changed his music. The Blood Bank EP is coming out on January 20th, 2009. Here's the first song available for stream and the tracklisting....

A nice way to showcase one of my songs of the year is in its current live form as you will have certainly seen in the National Stadium a few weeks ago, or Tripod before that. 'Skinny Love' is bolstered by Vernon's three assistants on percussive duties. If you like this try: Blogger's Delight - 17th [...]

For me I didn't realize it at first but after a few listens dim realization set in and I realized how great a song 'Skinny Love' by Bon Iver is.

I am. It's true.And unexpected.I'm almost a little annoyed with myself at the over-abundance of slightly depressing, down-tempo song selections I've been making as of late.But? Oh well?One of my favorite tracks from one of the softest, yet overwhelmingly emotional albums I've heard in a very long time. I think it has something to do with the change of seasons.P.S. Cheers to overreacting! W...

I live on the battlefield in Gettysburg PA. Today I went for a walk. Seven miles or so. I watched flurries dancing around with what few leaves are left on the trees and blasted noise into my ears as loudly as I could. There's a catharsis that music offers that many people experience but never understand. There's a joy in ceasing to exist for three and a half minutes while someone else drag...

This Bon Iver performance of Skinny Love live on Letterman is just as good as you expected from Justin Vernon's band. The 3 sets of drums really add something extra to the song. This makes me want to see Bon Iver live right about now. Check it out below: [mp3] : Bon Iver - Flume ">Bon Iver On Myspace | Buy Bon Iver CD's any Vinyl from Insound

Best Songs of 2008 1. "Skinny Love," Bon Iver- This acoustic ballad is one of the most brilliant, haunting songs you'll ever hear. While I didn't love Bon Iver's complete album as much as everyone else does, this song is a stunner, and the best of the year. 2. "White Winter Hymnal," Fleet Foxes- The Fleet Foxes [...]

Today’s SOTD is “Skinny Love” by Bon Iver off the For Emma, Forever Ago album. Justin Vernon recorded this track and eight others during a winter spent in a remote cabin in the woods of Northwestern Wisconsin. Listening to this beautiful song transports me right there in the midst of a snowy winter hibernation. [...]
