The Rosebuds, who are opening for Bon Iver at the Tower Theatre in August, have released a new album today, Loud Planes Fly Low . The Rosebuds hail from Raleigh, North Carolina and play indie/folk-pop full of interlacing male-female vocals (courtesy of founders Kelly Crisp and Ivan Howard) and infectious choruses. Lead single “Woods” is an indie-rock jam with Howard singing lead (and sounding oddly like Ryan Adams) over plunking keyboards and rolling drums. You can download the mp3 for free on their website . —Kiley Bense

Justin Vernon of Bon Iver publicly unveiled the news that he will release a new ten-song album this coming June. We had a chance to catch up with him at SXSW, where he was performing with Gayngs and verified that there will be a tour following, starting in July. Vernon told Rolling Stone that he had help from artists like saxophonist Colin Stetson (Tom Waits/Arcade Fire) and pedal-steel guitarist Greg Leisz (Wilco/Joni Mitchell). The new album will be more studio-influenced versus the sparse recordings of his debut album, For [...]
Fans of Bon Iver know that Justin Vernon often plays live with hometown friends Megafaun, who initially seemed to come out of nowhere until everyone realized that Vernon and the Megafaun dudes were all in ... read more
I have been completely smitten with Lia Ices for the last couple weeks, even though I’ve only heard these two songs. But listen to them yourself and just try to tell me my smitten-ness is misguided... Her debut record was released in January on Jagjaguwar , and I’m still yet to hear all of it, but if these charming and understated tracks are any indication of what it contains, I really have no excuse to grab this album. And neither do you! Oh, and those harmonies on the end of “Daphne”? Those are courtesy of [...]

Photo by Cameron Witting As one of the backing musicians in Justin Vernon's critically lauded indie-folk band Bon Iver, multi-instrumentalist Sean Carey provides drums, piano, and vocals during Vernon's live performances. He brings the same three things to the table with his own solo project, S. Carey , as well—but often with surprisingly different results. Sure, there are plenty of moments in S. Carey's debut album, All We Grow (released in August by Jagjaguwar ), that would fit comfortably in a Bon Iver song; for the most part, however, you could easily [...]
If you can ignore the tags in this stream, you get a full listen to another Kanye West / Justin Vernon collaboration. " Lost In The World " samples Bon Iver's " Woods " heavily as well as spoken word from Gil Scott-Heron. According to Pitchfork , Vernon says about the track, "It sounds exactly like how you want it to sound: forward moving, interesting, light-hearted, heavy-hearted, fucking incredible sounding jam," Vernon said. "It was kind of bare so I added some choir-sounding stuff and then thicked out the samples with [...]

Several years back a friend and trusted mentor handed me a crappy, low-bias cassette with John Prine scrawled on it in ballpoint pen. "It's incredible," he said, before adding, "he's a mailman." In actuality, Prine had long since hung up the USPS cap, but my dear friend was spot on regarding the quality of the record. Prine's self-titled debut is a songwriting masterpiece, alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, with a sprawling cast of stoners, loners and Marines with boners sure to make Sherwood Anderson proud. On May 25th, the fine folks at [...]
