stream: bon iver – bon iver (2011)
it’s been a good three years since justin vernon’s disarming falsetto caressed our ears with the enchanting for emma, foerver ago. since then, vernon’s dipped a toe in hip hop, and even reformed his former band deyarmond edison to grace us all with their breathtaking americana soul.
out june 21st, the eponymous album bon iver, sees vernon taking a grander approach to his utterly disarming introspective songwriting. the arrangements are more lush, more vivid and always with that layered, buttercream falsetto we’ve all come to identify with vernon. check it out below, courtesy of npr.

this past sxsw, we witnessed justin vernon and his re-formed deyarmond edison cover “you’ve got a friend” by carole king and “lovers will” by bonnie raitt. the latter artist got more syrupy sweet bon iver time in the spotlight last night, as vernon performed, accompanied only by a piano, a beautifully moving medley of songs: “a song for you” by donny hathaway, “i can’t make you love me,” and “nick of time” by bonnie raitt. just wow.
