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.

are the links right? they seem to go to some federalist songs…
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.
Oh man, this record is good. Best debut in a while.
An absolutely mighty album. Getting into this way too late.
I love Bon Iver, Justin Vernon’s lyrics are so daunting and poetic, carried out by his amazing voice and drop tuned guitar and majestic sounds.
For Emma Forever Ago was a magnificent album and I’m very much looking forward to their new album.
