Favorite Things: Bon Iver, “For Emma, Forever Ago”
December 9, 2008
Jagjaguwar’s early ‘08 release of Bon Iver’s “For Emma, Forever Ago,” has definitely been one of my favorite things this year. I’ve also greatly appreciated the recent leak of their new EP, “Blood Bank,” which will be officially released in early ‘09.
It’s some seriously great winter listening. And if you’re in the mood for another Southern musician with a soothing voice, please check out American Tourist, who has recently recorded some new songs.

I love Bon Iver. I tried to tell all my friends about this guy, but then discovered he’d made his way onto Gray’s Anatomy so everyone knew. That was too bad. Also I’ve missed him in concert twice, now. Bonnie “Prince” Billie is another good one in a similar vein, though a bit warmer.
Anyway good call. I’ll keep an eye out for that EP, I hadn’t heard!
