Bon Iver - For Emma, forever ago

Posted by: Simon Matthews on 13 May 2008

What a cracking album!!

The fruits of a winter locked by himself in a
Wisconsin log cabin with a four track and an acoustic, Justin Vernon has created a
beautiful and haunting album. A really unique folk sound with multi tracked vocals and sparse arrangements.

Go to his myspace and have a listen.

And to think that was just Elstree studios!

The album is just plain lovely. No mention of r.e.d.r.u.m.

Yeah the album is near the top of my want list (the economy is biting Frown ) . Was just listening to one of his concerts on npr:all songs considered yesterday. He is playing some English gigs at the minute, some supporting Iron & Wine. He is also playing gigs in America or Canada supported by the terrific Bowerbirds.
