Bon Iver (yes, happy winter without the "h"): Frontman Justin Vernon. Well, let me say, the man expresses a unique, and warmly familiar heartbreak and yearning.
I loved the album For Emma, Forever Ago. [no doubt having an impact was Vernon's run-in with Mono, a band breakup, AND a lover breakup too (Wikipedia, 2010)]
Every tune made me feel a sense of longing, a calm after the storm of something that took a lot out of the body and soul...something like lost love haunting the subject - or at least working it's calming numbness - with bouts of pure pain and passion.
I love it in any case - this is the first Bon Iver track that I fell in love with (not true, it was one called Brackett wi, but this one stuck). It's called RE: STACKS...
If you like it, please guide your ears to: The Wolves Act I and II, and Blindsided; both equally amazing in their own special ways.
Enjoy...and don't forget to let me know how you like them - or your reactions.
Happy Labour day long weekend.
