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 [...]

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 [...]

Justin Vernon or Bon Iver, as he’s better known in the indie music community, made a lot of waves, towards the end of last year, with his independently released debut album “For Emma, Forever Ago.” The intense passion and soul of the album can be sensed from the very first listen, probably because it was [...]
