what might have been lost...
bon iver is consuming me. his album, "for emma, forever ago" is incredible, absolutely blowing my mind. i want to share it with the people at work who make fun of his name but i am afraid if they don't like him it'll break my heart.
an excerpt from his myspace bio that says it better than i can:
For Emma's tracks consist of thick layers draped in lush choral walls, with rarely more than an ancient acoustic guitar or the occasional bass drum providing structure. Vernon sings the majority of the record in falsetto, which painfully expresses the meanings behind its overt, yet strangely entangled words. This newfound vocal path acts as each song's main character and source of melody.
