So tell me more about this Bon Iver

by MrScagdenSir

I'm watching the full version of Jools Holland (I can't get enough of watching Cave and Ellis) and there's this amazing guy with a guitar singing 'skinny girl' and... wow. So:

Is the whole album up to this standard?
What type of guitar is he playing (it's an amazing sound)?
What's he got tatooed on his chest?

It's his face

But on his chest

"Yeeeaah, double me"


i've been hearing a lot of good stuff

about bon iver recently so i bought his album today. i have to say the whole album is as good as 'skinny love'. definitely recommended.


it's an incredible album

...on my version the song is labeled skinny love and it is indeed one of the stronger songs on the album. there are probably 3-4 other immediate standouts on the album. the other songs on the album aren't filler per se but keep the album's mood and flow at an even keel. the album is under 40 mins and has 9 songs so it's a fairly brief listen too


Cabin story


Crazy

I just put this album on, before I clicked on to DiS... coincidence?

Also the album kicks ass, possible a contender for end of year lists...


i thought

it was released last year :/


Self-released last year

Re-released this year.


Yup, the album's brilliant..

up there with the best of the year thus far for me. Lovely voice, lovely lyrics. Lovely guitar.

he's supporting jens lekman on tuesday, can't wait.


saw him support iron and wine last night

and am strongly tempted to see him tuesday now too.

absolutely bloody brilliant, argh, just soooo good.


obviously i say 'him' like it's just one guy

but i do this about iron and wine too, i should stop.


the jools holland

performance was utterly incredible, i was a bit stoned and it was the most heartfelt thing ever. album is amazing too.


jools holland...

...radio one... he is getting big fast


jesus

just watched him on later - incredible.


the only questuon I can answer is....

the album is all pure gold I cant really falt it infact that tune he played isnt even my fav track.... but is still a cracker
