| Bon Iver #1: "It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away" Welcome to the 1st Bon Iver appreciation thread!  Info: Bon Iver is the name of indie folk singer-songwriter Justin Vernon’s current band and most notable music project to date. Currently the band also consists of Mike Noyce and Sean Carey. The name ‘Bon Iver’ (pronounced “ee-VEHR”) is a play on the French phrase ‘bon hiver’ for ‘good winter’. Vernon independently released Bon Iver’s debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago in 2007, the majority of which was recorded while spending four months in a remote cabin in Wisconsin. Bon Iver fans: 1.

| Great thread! 'For Emma, Forever Ago' is a wonderful album. It was my 3rd favourite album of 2008.  __________________ "Grace is what matters.

| I'll add it to my list. It's quite a priority, though, since it's only 4 songs and it's Bon Iver.  Anyway... what's your favourite song from FE,FA? __________________ "Grace is what matters.

I also adore Lump Sum because it has a defined rhythm and is played at a faster pace than the rest of the songs. And I just love the eerie sounds in the beginning. And I like 'Woods' too. Which is a song featured on Blood Bank, and it's probably the most minimal thing he's ever done. It features his voice and a vocoder that changes his voice like a synth. It reminds me a bit of Fleet Foxes's a capella songs.  __________________ jose · icon by me | |||

| Blood Bank is a good song, but I'm not so much a fan of the other songs on that EP. For Emma Forever Ago is amazing all through. __________________ ~Anna | |||

| I love Bon Iver. i just recently started listening probably just about a month ago? I was super happy that Woods was featured in Skins.. love that show. lol. That's probably my favorite song, too. It's so simple, i love how the same verse is sang over and over throughout the whole song, yet it doesn't et boring. It just builds up and it's beaaauuutilfuul  now that's the way to use a vocoder. lol. __________________ you make a bad day better than good | |||
