Chill with Bon Iver
January 10, 2011Music Mondays is back with a focus on American indie/folk band Bon Iver. The band was founded in 2007 and is fronted by Justin Vernon whose haunting vocals are now beloved by thousands of fans. Two of Vernon’s best and most popular songs are “Skinny Love” and “Blood Bank” from the For Emma, Forever Ago album and Blood Bank-EP, respectively. Recently Bon Iver has worked with Kanye West and is featured on two tracks from West’s latest smash album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Bon Iver’s music is beautiful as is, but the intimate, stripped-down feel of many tracks has allowed for a lot of reinterpretations and remixes to surface. One gentle reboot that really works is Capetown’s Das Kaptial Rerub of “Skinny Love,” from last year. Ease into the work week with this gem:
