I've been getting into Bon Iver Recently and his vocal ranges are similar to those of TV On The Radio's Tunde Adebimpe.

I think Bon Iver is the name of the band, not of any individual.

Nah it's just one guy: Justin Vernon.

His old bandmates are pretty damn good though, Megafaun rules (Hint hint).

it's not dude, it's an act, which currently consists of about 3 or so people. vernon's just the singer/songwriter.

even if the band is not permanent, then still, referring to 'bon iver' as 'he' or 'him' would be like saying "I really love Nine Inch Nails, he's such a good songwriter". it's not intended as a monicker, in the way that say Eluvium is the monicker of Matthew Cooper. 'Bon Iver' is just the name of the act, like 'LCD Soundsystem'.

You could say that it's a pseudonym for himself and when he tours he uses a backing band. Bon iver sounds like a name instead of a band so you are technically right but the general assumption is that Bon Iver is just one guy.

Anyhow-it's still a great album :)

Why don't I just correct myself and say "Justin Vernon's vocal ranges are similar to those of TV On The Radio's Tunde Adebimpe" and end it there.

jackhammer 12-09-2008 09:05 AM

Or say that TV On The Radio's Tunde Adebimpe's are similar to Justin 'Motherfuckin' Bon Iver' Vernon's :D
