BON IVERMidday, songster Bon Iver, i.e. Justin Veron, caused an ethereal acoustic shivers through the crowd. The good kind. Gifted with a husky, emotive falsetto, Bon Iver is a pleasure to watch perform- no strings attached, no masks or glittering costumes necessary. His music? Hints of chamber music harmonies that melds with deep, pensive acoustic strumming. The result? The simple guitar-and-m...

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. I'm

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...

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....

Bon Iver has a new EP, Blood Bank , set to be released in January and I'm sure people are hungry for it. For Emma, Forever Ago is one of those albums I always enjoy going back to and now it seem...

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
