BON IVER IS BACK


His debut album For Emma, Forever Ago topped every critic's list when it came out in 2008. Since then, Bon Iver (aka Justin Vernon) has worked with all & sundry, including contributing to 3 tracks on Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

The man and his band are now back with a self-titled album due out on 21 June (see artwork above); each track on the album is said to be named after or representing a place. Opening song Perth apparently features a marching drum beat, a children's choir & wailing guitars. Fans of moody folk rejoice! Here he is performing an impromptu, a cappella version of For Emma.
