Sweet Album - [26 Mar 2009]
Short and sweet, just the way to make a great album. Blood Bank is a great title track and good enough to enjoy over and over again.

A Reach Into the Future and an Appreciation for the Path Taken - [18 Mar 2009]
Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago was one of 2008's biggest critical darlings. On that album, Mr. Vernon kept things at their absolute most basic. He recorded in solitude on what he described as "a very light set-up" with the intent of distributing the...

Not what I expected. - [03 Feb 2009]
I absolutely fell in love with For Emma, and I had high hopes for Bon Iver's follow up. However I was entirely disappointed with this. I really tried to like it...but the overall sound just doesn't gel with me.

You're Going to Have to Try Harder - [23 Jan 2009]
Wow, dude, talk about flame on/flame off. If Mr. Bon Iver is going to be an artist of much longevity he is going to have to try much harder than this. The title track is the only worthwhile thing here, and it is plagued by such awful, convoluted lyrics...

Lovely! - [23 Jan 2009]
"For Emma, Forever Ago" was one of my favorite albums of 2008 and this little EP is a great way to kick off 2009. I'm always a bit worried that a great first album will be followed by one filled with lesser tracks, as if the artist sunk his best work ...

Grey harmony for the heart - [21 Jan 2009]
How to describe the music of Justin Vernon? The concept is not new--talented guy, sort of lo-fi recording set up, guitar. Nothing new. Yet, somehow, this guy coaxes austere majesty from nothingness. If you are interested in the EP, then you probably already...

A stunner! - [21 Jan 2009]
Bon Iver (essentially Justin Vernon and a couple of bandmates) burst out of the frozen Wisconsin north woods in 2007 with "For Emma, Forever Ago" - a record of quiet, contemplative and deeply felt songs triggered by the ending of several relationships...

Soulful - [20 Jan 2009]
This EP is a good sign for people who liked Bon Iver's first album. The tunes are soulful and share similar aspects to the LP: the falsetto voice layered multiple times, the trance-like repetition that builds to an emotional release, the cryptic lyrics...
