from Philippe Tremblay-Berberi
artist: bon iver. song: for emma, forever ago. a very soft spoken band from wisconsin. the lead singer/songwriter/guitarist justin vernon has the ability to capture such lovely melodies. at first, i wasn't too impressed with bon iver. maybe it was the little pretentious guy inside me that made me skeptical to their songs. but after burning 'for emma, forever ago' their debut album, i realized there is a lot of sweet soft treasure in their work. from the high baby like cries of vernon's voice, to the simple plucks of a baritone guitar, bon iver is worth your time to check out.
when i think of bon iver, i think of mountain cabins and burley men drinking beer. all that with some singing around a camp fire, while a bear in the back ground just groans.
check them out kids.
