Bon Iver - "For Emma"
"For Emma" is off of their debut LP, For Emma, Forever Ago, that came out in 2008.
Bon Iver is a band that's been a around for a few years now. It's comprised of Micahel Noyce, Sean Carey, Matthew McGaughan, and (front man) Justin Vernon. They mix several instruments and effects (such as Justin Vernon's unique use of auto-tune), which culminate to create incredibly beautiful tracks.
Much like Sam Beam of Iron & Wine, Justin Vernon runs the ship for Bon Iver. They haven't released a full-length album since 2009, but he's had several side projects; both with his label (JagJaguwar) and with others. Most notable is Justin's collaboration with Kanye West on his critically acclaimed My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010). For JagJaguwar Records, he is one of 23 other musicians (including members from Andrew Bird, Doomtree, and The Rosebuds) that collaborated to create Gayngs. Gayngs released their debut LP in 2010 and is an interesting mix of soft-rock and smooth-jazz.
To my knowledge, Bon Iver doesn't have anything slated for release in 2011, but lets cross our fingers and hope there's something announced!
Enjoy!
