We’ve raved a lot over what an awesome compilation the soundtrack for the upcoming teen-vampire-in-love New Moon flick will make. Today, however, we can finally sample the O.S.T. and settle once and far all if the hype is justified or not. The soundtrack itself is yet to have been released, but, like it usually happens, [...]
Last week, when I featured one of the leading tracks from Volcano Choir’s debut, “Unmap“, I said: “A product of the joint creative minds of Bon Iver and Collections of Colonies of Bees, the album impresses through it’s deep and sincere music, straight from the heart. Bon Iver, as always, is simply incredible, even though [...]
“Unmap“, by Volcano Choir, is an incredible project, one that’s been many years in the making (more than four years!), but which has now finally been released for the common pair of ears to rejoice upon. A product of the joint creative minds of Bon Iver and Collections of Colonies of Bees, the album impresses [...]
I saw this beautiful a cappella version sometime last year, when Bon Iver was in Paris to record for Vincent Moon’s La Blogoteque session, and remember that at the time I was completely shocked by its spontaneous beauty. The pure joy of people singing out of the random, the completely silenced crowd outside a Paris [...]
Bon Iver’s “For Emma, Forever Ago” ranked #3 on our ZME Top 50 of 2008, making it, for us at least, one of the best albums of year and one of the best debuts in years.
Although “Blood Bank,” the latest material from Justin, is just a short, four track EP, it’s interesting to see if [...]
2008 was Justin Vernon’s (aka Bon Iver) year, for sure. His very special debut album, “For Emma, Forever Ago,” (special thanks to its circumstances of creation, special thanks to its soothing nature, special thanks to its sincerity - special by definition) earned him a lot of recognition on and off the scene, and, ultimately, made [...]
Since he released his brilliant debut album, “For Emma, Forever Ago,” last year, Bon Iver has been a bit scarassed with new material on us. Not anymore, though, as he’ll be releasing a new 4 track EP soon, titled “Blood Bank,” which will soon be in stores in UK/Ireland on January 19 and the U.S. [...]
Bon Iver took Conan O’Bien’s Late Night show by storm, last night, after Justin Vernon and the rest of the gang made their US nation-wide television debut with a stelar performance of “Flume,” as part of their 08 tour in support of the debut album. A well deserved shout out to Conan for the impecable [...]
Today, Bon Iver will kick off his 2008 tour in South Carolina, a tour that’s set to span across three months and 2 parts. First, a US tour through out the whole month of August, then a European tour that will see Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) perform in such places like Dublin, Paris, London, Oslo, [...]
After we presented Bon Iver’s latest music video for the beautifully haunting The Wolves (Act I and II), Justin Vernon is back with another video to delight both our eyes and ears, this time, however, with a live performance on “Later… with Jools Holland.” Here, Justin played a wonderful performance of his “Skinny Love,” from [...]
