Bon Iver was another one of those artists that come out of nowhere. I heard about them through an automated recommendation and I am thankful I have discovered him. I've never really liked music this slow and folk-like before, but for some reason I really feel like this music speaks to my generation. At the time of this review, I am barely into my 20's and I can really connect with this music. It's a little sad and a little mystic at the same time. Bon Iver makes music that takes you places. And most of the time he takes me to a very very relaxing and enjoyable place.
Unfortunately I can't be 100% passionate about the whole album, yet. It takes a while to grow on you. But immediate and lasting favorites are "Flume", "Skinny Love", and "For Emma". I became attached to those tunes at first listen. The great thing about this album, is that none of the songs are annoying, or bad songs. It's all listenable through and through. I give it 4 stars because some songs are 10X more memorable than others. The other songs will still sooth you and treat you the way good music does. So unlike other albums that have good songs and bad songs. This is an album with all good songs. Some just take us a little higher than others, like my personal favorite "Flume".
Everyone owes this style of music a listen. Here's a great way to start. Bon Iver creates music that's very hard to dislike. It speaks to your heart, and it's easy on the ears. Preview the album, I say. Before long you will have these songs stuck in your head, and your going to want to purchase the album.Get more detail about For Emma, Forever Ago.
