If you’ve been following my twitter feed you’ll know of my new found love for Bon Iver. They paint a scene with sorrowful yet hopeful vocals, simple rhythms like trudging through the snow, and melodies delicately falling into place, filling tracks in the powder. For Emma, Forever Ago isn’t just refreshingly acute, it’s brilliantly understated.
‘Blindsided’ is the standout track for me, but here’s a live version of ‘Flume’. Enjoy the snow.
