bon iver's for emma, forever ago is, without being too dramatic, stunning. justin vernon (bon iver) wrote it while holed up in northern wisconsin for three months. he didn't see or talk to anybody during that time. knowing that, this music is perfect. his falsetto tv on the radio-esque vocals fit perfectly with the lo-fi recording of the whole album. it's folky and soulful and beautiful. fans of iron & wine, m. ward, and devendra banhart will love this album. i can't stop listening to it.
now you go listen.

Cool. I am streaming this man on Hype Machine THIS VERY MOMENT. Sounds good. Reminds me of Antony and the Johnsons. BTW Devendra Banhart has a random cameo on the bonus DVD for Beck's "The Information." I was all "shoot that beard looks familiar" and then the credits rolled and my mind was blown.
