Review: Bon Iver – For Emma, Forever Ago

Sam Beam vs. TV On The Radio + Northwestern Wisconsin = Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago. This is a stripped-down and low-key but amazingly beautiful folk album that is hushed yet fervently soulful. As far as debut albums go, this one from Bon Iver (aka Justin Vernon) is stunning.

    The links definitely aren’t right, but the dulcet tones of Bon Iver certainly are.

    His live show is wonderful.

    Links should be all good now. Thanks for the heads up.

    An absolutely mighty album. Getting into this way too late.
