Bon Iver

Gorgeous acoustic album For Emma, Forever Ago was released last year and slipped under the radar. For some reason his Myspace page gives him a Neo-Soul label and while he definitely has a great voice, his target audience suggests something different. Melancholic and upbeat at the same time. Listen and love.

I almost didn't check this out because of the name (I don't know why either), but he is pretty good isn't he?

I have to say that his debut album is stunning. Simple as that.

a friend of mine sent me this album last week, and its been in rotation,.....
it is,...stunning,......wolves is my particular favorite

Ja I think I'm going to get this one afterall.

Was finally coerced to listen seeing as how everyone and their grandma seems to be raving about them. Really gorgeous stuff. I'd say the tag "neo soul" is accurate, it's acoustic but there's definitely something highly soulful in his vocal interpretation.

My favorite songs are Flume and Re: Stacks at the mo.

Saw him on jools holland.

Thanks for letting us know.

For Emma, Forever Ago is such a beautifully simple album, my friend sent it to me today and I really do love it
Skinny Love is probably my favorite song
