Gluey feathers on a flume.

This is my current obsession.

Say hello to Bon Iver.

I found out about him in an article from Spin Magazine's Big in '09 issue.

"Bon Iver is the name of American indie-folk singer songwriter Justin Vernon's current band and most notable music project to date. While in high school and college, Vernon founded the band DeYarmond Edison with Brad and Phil Cook, and Joe Westerlund in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. After a long period of success in the Eau Claire music scene, the four band mates decided to leave their longtime home and move to North Carolina to try their musical hand in a new place. The band released two records themselves, the first self-titled and the second titled Silent Signs and an EP of unreleased material is available on their Myspace page. After nearly a year in Raleigh, Vernon left for Wisconsin after a breakup with the band and a girlfriend. The remaining members of DeYarmond Edison went on to form a new band called Megafaun and remain good friends with Vernon. After the breakup of a band, relationship, and bout with sickness (mononucleosis of the liver) Vernon left Raleigh and moved back to Wisconsin spending three months in his father's cabin in the woods of northern Wisconsin. Vernon did not intend to write or record any music during the time but rather to recuperate from the events of the previous year. Eventually a record began to evolve during this cathartic time of isolation. Vernon played all the instruments during recording and each song was heavily edited with a large number of overdubs. Vernon wrote most of the lyrics for the album by recording a word-less melody and listening to the recording over and over and writing words according to the sound of the syllables of the melody. The record was almost not released and was originally intended as a group of demos to be sent out to labels and potentially rerecorded. But after getting very encouraging reactions from a number of his friends, Vernon decided to release the songs himself in their present state. After significant positive reception, helped by word of mouth and its popularity throughout the blogosphere, Vernon decided to sign to the indie label Jagjuwar which subsequently gave the album a proper release. Vernon has said that he will continue to make albums without engineers and producers because he is capable of doing it all himself."

When you listen to his music , you can actually hear the pain in his voice.
It's so beautiful.
