doubts about bon iver?


try the black cab session of 'creature fear' (below) - as usual, off the cuff, one take. and compare to the lp version:
bon iver: creature fear
now go to his site, love his myspace, and buy his record. his record, 'for emma, forever ago', is easily, hands down the album of the year. i cant imagine that anything in the next five/half months could possibly top it, and i know nothing in the last 6/half has. according to last.fm, its in my top 10 most played albums, and those stats cover the last 3/half years. the record is tender, heartfelt, the falsetto which i never thought id go for, and really just the most bear-it-all stuff ive ever heard. my first post about bon iver was a little hesitant: id heard three tracks. while 'for emma' has grown on me somewhat, its still not in the better half of the album, and simply cant keep company with tracks like skinny love, creature fear, re: stacks, blindsided, the wolves (act i and ii), and lump sum. for any who remain unconvinced, ill post the rest of the above tracks which i havent already, spread out over the course of the next week.
