Over the past month or so we've become slightly obsessed by the music of a man called Owsey . Best known for turning Birdy's 'Skinny Love' and 'Shelter' cover versions into breathtakingly fragile moments of ABSOLUTE LOVELINESS, he is also somewhat superb when it comes to making music for himself. Based in Northern Ireland, this downtempo newcomer is the definitive soundtrack to late nights in 2012, and his sample-heavy sounds blend the sensibilities of chill-out pioneers Massive Attack , Cocteau Twins and Zero 7 into one incredibly calming listening experience.

Als beroepsmatig Facebooker zie ik af en toe trends ontstaan. Zo is het tegenwoordig helemaal hip en happening om quote's of teksten in een afbeelding te zetten en die te delen in plaats van ze gewoon op te schrijven. Ook zie ik steeds vaker mensen youtubefilmpjes plaatsen van liedjes die ze mooi vinden. En vaak ook nog dezelfde filmpjes, die niet de officiële clip zijn maar het liedje als achtergrond voor een diashow van de zingende artiest. Twee van de liedjes die ik heel vaak voorbij heb zien komen zijn Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know [...]
Another day, another stunning remix of a Lana Del Rey cover by Birdy. This time it's Northern Ireland mixer Owsey and Bon Iver's modern classic "Skinny Love". My my my. Owsey ( Facebook ) ( Soundcloud ) Rating 8.3
O humorista/comentarista político Stephen Colbert decidiu organizar um festival musical de uma semana em seu programa de TV The Colbert Report, apropriadamente entitulado Stephest Colbchella '11. Como primeiro convidado, o homem do momento: Justin Vernon e seu projeto Bon Iver , que acaba de faturar uma nota 9,5 na Pitchfork, basicamente garantindo a presença de seu disco homônimo nas listas de final de ano de vários sites. Bon Iver apresentou duas músicas, e nas apresentações é possível identificar instantaneamente a diferença de sonoridade e conceito dos dois álbuns do projeto folk. Começando com a clássica [...]

Tweet With the much anticipated release of Bon Iver 's sophomore self-titled album dropping today, frontman, Justin Vernon has been all over the media outlets - print, blogs, TV, etc. - not that I'm complaining. Last night he stopped by the Colbert Report to chat with Stephen Colbert. While we all know the heart-wrenching, soul-searching story that "For Emma, Forever Ago" , has become, it never gets old, though the truth seems to be have been lost in translation over [...]
![[Listen] – Bon Iver – "I Can't Make You Love Me/Nick Of Time" (Bonnie Raitt cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3534736_lg.jpg)
Tweet Justin Vernon's new album as Bon Iver doesn't officially come out until tomorrow, and reviews have been pouring in from all over. "Bon Iver, Bon Iver" leaked quite a while ago, so most people have had time to spend with a new, more expansive sound, but on the b-side for gorgeous first single "Calgary" Vernon hems back towards the solitary tone of his first record with another somber cover of a pop music icon: Bonnie Raitt. The medley of [...]
The first time we heard Birdy's cover of Bon Iver's " Skinny Love " we were hooked on this 14 year old artist from Lymington, England. Check out her most recent cover from the xxx, "Shelter" above

The soulful songstress Birdy aka Jasmine Van den Bogaerde has recorded a cover of The XX's 'Shelter' which is due for release in early July. The rawness of this track mixed with the haunting piano is an impressive interpretation of the original and showcases her vocals and delivery style which appears to far exceed her tender age of 15. Birdy - Shelter by OfficialBirdy The Hampshire born girl comes from a family of musicians and has been playing the piano since [...]
![[Listen] – New Album By Bon Iver – "Bon Iver, Bon Iver"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3507843_lg.jpg)
Tweet I'm not going to review this new Bon Iver album, mainly because I'm pretty shite at reviewing albums unless it's negative because those are really easy to do, but also because this isn't even out yet and that, to me, isn't enough time to full take in an album and review it fairly. Some people can do that in a day, some people it takes a month or more, and personally it completely depends on the album. Sometimes I'll hear [...]
Blogophilia refers to the series of mixes that were developed from promotional mp3s found on different music blogs. As we've grown, we've come to rely less on other blogs and more on what we're sent that we review or feature. We receive a lot of requests to repost old Blogophilia mixes, and have to kindly refuse because of space issues. Well, that's going to change. This summer, we'll feature 2-3 Blogophilia posts a week until we're current. If you've followed this site, you'll know we already maintain links [...]
So we typically toss a video onto a post when highlighting a new band, a show preview, or something and let you draw your own conclusion about it. Sometimes we'll just round 'em all up for you. Most of these videos are of artists we have previously talked about here on Draw Us Lines, so we won't be telling you much about the bands themselves, just some musings that really aren't worth a damn. If a picture is worth 1000 words, then a video must be worth a trillion. Hold on to your hats! Today we're featuring [...]

![[Listen/Download] – New Song By Bon Iver – "Calgary"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3444372_lg.jpg)
Tweet Oh how I've waited for new music from Bon Iver . In a recent Soundcast that I took part in myself and Kevin Mcfarland mentioned how one of the most anticipated releases of the entire year is the new album from Bon Iver, and it's not even two months away before that anticipation makes way for actual satisfaction when it drops. His debut album "For Emma, Forever Ago" was a heartbreaking look into a lonely man's soul as [...]
Even though it's stormed like hell so far it seems like May is going to be a great month. Allo Darlin- The Polaroid Song I'm yet to find a song by Allo Darlin' that i don't absolutely love. Such a great band to put me in a good mood and motivate me to go out and enjoy my life. Thao witht he get down stay down- bag of hammers Lovett- The Fear [...]
If you're not in the know, a young teenager by the name of Birdy took over the blogosphere last week with a haunting rendition of Bon Iver's classic "Skinny Love". Just an unbelievably captivating version of one of my favorite songs of the past few years. Mother Earth Remixes had the brilliant idea to merge Birdy's version of Bon Iver with a couple 2Pac verses, and the result is gold. Hear it for yourself below. Download: Mother Earth Remixes & Young Church - Skinny Pain (2Pac vs. Birdy)
"Skinny Love" is just one of those legendary songs, that no one should ever cover. Honestly, I would discourage anyone from trying to, because chances are, you'll fail miserably. A 14 year old from England has disproved me theory though. She made this sound beautiful and original again. She takes away the guitars, and adds a mellow piano, and really takes full control of this. A 14 year old!!!! Birdy, from Lymington already has a deal from Atlantic UK from this, and the song is burning up the charts. My only concern (and it is a serious concern) [...]
Check out 14 year old Jasmine Van Den Bogaerde's (aka Birdy ) version of Bon Iver 's "Skinny Love". Beautiful. Can we make this duet happen? Grab it at iTunes (UK only I think) compare to the original .
IFRAME Embed for Youtube last month we heard Birdy 's cover of Bon Iver's " Skinny Love " and now we have a new video to enjoy this amazing cover from the 14 year old artist from Lymington, England \n
