Brackett, WI

I've recently become a HUGE Bon Iver fan, and I can't for the life of me figure out what it is about him that draws me to his music. Manuel, some songs I would suggest would be Skinny Lover which reminds me a lot of Ooh La La by the Faces, except with a sort of modern tone to it. Another song I like is Baby's which has a rolling Piano, somehow reminding me of Coldplay's Lovers in Japan. Blood Bank is another great from his new EP, I recommend any of the following to someone who...

Justin Vernon, aka Bon Iver, only has two releases: an album called "for emma, forever ago" and an EP from this January entitled "Blood Bank." There's an iTunes bonus track called "Wisconsin" and then he contributed lyrics to a song called "Big Red Machine" on the newest Red Hot compilation, "Dark Was the Night." This track, "Brackett, WI," is also on that record under Bon Iver, which is still just Justin Vernon; no backing band, just multi-track recording. He has a total of 16 songs releases under Bon Iver so far. That's it. Worth mentioning, over few others, are the...

He has a total of 16 songs releases under Bon Iver so far. That's it. Worth mentioning, over few others, are the Myspace Transmissions and Daytrotter Sessions recordings, which contain re-workings of the Bon Iver songs with the musicians and arrangements he uses when playing live shows. Also, the live videos on youtube and elsewhere can be very rewarding, especially the videos done for the French blog site "La Blogotheque." Other than a few covers, notably of Feist's "The Park" on an Australian radio webcast recently, that's the whole Bon Iver canon so far. I hope I helped whoever was looking for more Bon Iver, and let's all hope we see more of him on record soon!
