New Music: Bon Iver
Justin Vernon, the man behind the moniker Bon Iver (French for "good winter"), is the young Thoreau of the music world, and his gorgeous debut album is its new Walden. Recorded during four snowy months in a remote Wisconsin cabin, For Emma, Forever Ago is the result of a musician left in self-searching isolation, staying warm with only his memories and an acoustic guitar. Picture a folksier TV On The Radio or a less fuzzy Iron and Wine and you'll come close to the sound of Vernon's rusty falsetto, backed by spare, haunting strums. The product is so intimate that listening to it somehow feels wrong, as though you're peeping in on a young man dealing in private with his own personal demons...
