Even in an age in which Spotify is (albeit justifiably) chastised for paying out pittances and peanuts to starry-eyed, if holey-jeaned artists it seems all but entirely illogical that a record of such startling beauty as Anywhere But Where I Am may be proffered by its conjurers free of charge. Said conjurers are Flights , or Eric Hillman and Brian Holl. Although the duo are now shacked up in Nashville, they hail initially from Wisconsin which, to the ignorant Brit at least sends surging thoughts recurring to Justin Vernon. Here [...]
Between tomorrow night's performance on Saturday Night Live and their multiple Grammy nominations , it's a big two weeks for Justin Vernon and Bon Iver . Consequently, Vernon and Co. are doing a lot of press, which has led to a lot of choice quotes regarding a number of different things. First and foremost: Bon Iver will not be performing at the Grammys. In an interview with Billboard , Vernon said the band turned down the opportunity to play after being told they'd have to share the stage [...]

Well, we're just about halfway with the reposts... Today, we feature volumes 9 and 10, which were originally posted in August 2009. Volume 10 holds a special place in this blog's history, because that's when Aaron from Tsururadio offered to post the mix on his blog. That started a bit of following and it has grown ever since. Aaron's moved onto Tsuruphoto, following his passion for photography. He now has a nudie-zine featuring some edgy but tasteful art, several videos to promote the zine and Tsuruphoto, and the occasional mixtape. We owe a big thanks for his early support, and [...]
Hometown post rock heros Collections Of Colonies Of Bees (COCOBs pronounced like stingingly delicious Cocoa Bees haha) just fired off the lead track from their upcoming LP, Giving. Every recent write up I have read about these cats has named dropped Bon Iver, Justin Vernon and their collabo in the tre excellente Volcano Choir project. I completely understand the logic behind it, but I feel after putting it down for 13 years they stand on their own. COCOBs jam. That being said, if the connection to one of music biggest stars it what the doctor ordered to turn people on [...]
On For Emma, Forever Ago , Justin Vernon made a grand debut for Bon Iver , crafting one of the most intimate and profound records of the past few years. That record was deep and engaging due to Vernon's courage to bare his soul, opening himself to the world. He seemed to spare nothing when it came to conveying how he felt -- even if it was often shrouded in a bit of poetic mystique. One could easily get swept away in the album's pensive mood and honest sound. The same can [...]
(Right Link + "Save Link As" = Download) Bon Iver - "Calgary" Bon Iver - "Michicant" To follow-up on a " masterpiece of an album " is a task that no man should take alone. Fortunately for Bon Iver fans, Justin Vernon hasn't been alone. It turns out his voice can be flawlessly applied to a multitude of genres, which has created opportunities that were completely unimaginable a mere three years prior. Vernon has expanded his musical palette and credibility by working with everyone from Volcano [...]
Maybe I'm the last one on this train so bare with me if I happen to be the only one who didn't know of Justin Vernon's (from Bon Iver) COLLABORATION WITH COLLECTIONS OF COLONIES OF BEES!?!?!! And if you tell me that you knew about this but DIDN'T TELL ME then we are no longer [...]

Bon Iver came onto the scene in 2008 with a whisper — their album For Emma, Forever Ago was replete with spare, haunting songs that chilled the blood and produced goosebumps. It was magnificent. So the news that Justin Vernon's band [...]
With much happiness I bring this post to our Vibers and Subscribers out there, Bon Iver with his single, "Calgary." Justin Vernon using his moniker/band Bon Iver released the track that will appear on the self-titled album slated for a June 21st release. It has been three long years since For Emma, Forever Ago was released, the groups debut masterpiece. It is easily one of my favorite albums, EVER. His story is one not to be overlooked and neither are his soulful, emotional, real, and elegant pieces of music from his discography. [...]
We brought you the exciting news just a few weeks ago that we were expecting a new LP from Justin Vernon's Bon Iver project to come out in June. More details have now become available, the record will be self titled and will be released through Jagjaguwar on June 21st. After the unexpected and international nature of the success of For Emma, Forever Ago and the beautiful, ethereal tones of the Blood Bank EP the new record has a lot to live up to, and [...]
Bon Iver album art It's been a few years since the release of Bon Iver's classic, critically-acclaimed debut For Emma, Forever Ago . Since then, Bon Iver became a full-fledged band*, released a follow-up EP, and Justin Vernon cut records with new bands Volcano Choir and Gayngs. To top it all off, Vernon played a prominent supporting role on Kanye West's masterpiece My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy . Understandably, people were getting a bit anxious to hear anything about new Bon Iver material. Today, we have some [...]
Vivemos na era do teaser. Qualquer filme, álbum, música ou clipe dos últimos tempos é liberado em doses curtas e perfeitas para aumentar expectativas e criar burburinho. Se esse era o objetivo de Justin Vernon e seu projeto Bon Iver ao postar um pequeno vídeo em sua conta no Vimeo, contendo um trecho de 51 segundos de uma música inédita (sem vocais) embalando closes em uma pintura bucólica, missão cumprida. A canção contida no vídeo começa com o ritmo lento tradicional do Bon Iver , mas poucos segundos antes do fim da prévia, [...]
