An online music magazine where I can share information about bands and artists with a nice sound. I'll provide music samples along with album reviews and track reviews which will be entirely based on my personal opinions and music insight. The rating scale will be from 1 to 10, with 10 being the most loved.

Bon Iver (pronounced like the French words, "bon hiver", meaning good winter) is American indie-folk singer-songwriter, Justin Vernon's current band, signed with Jagjaguwar and 4AD. Bon Iver consists of three other members: Michael Noyce (vocals, baritone guitar, guitar), Sean Carey (drums, vocals, piano), and Matthew McCaughan (bass, drums, vocals). Bon Iver's debut album For Emma, Forever Ago was independently released by Justin Vernon in July 2007. However, it was properly released on February 19, 2008 when Vernon decided to sign with Jagjaguwar. The majority of the album was recorded while Vernon spent three months in a remote cabin in Northwestern Wisconcin which one of the tracks, Woods, makes a reference to. Vernon's initial idea was to "hibernate". It turns out that three months of solitude resulted in the creation of For Emma, Forever Ago. All the emotions he kept built up inside of him suddenly bursted out into the form of songs. Vernon actually recorded his album by himself. "I had a very light set-up, a basic small recording set-up: a Shure SM57 and an old Silvertone guitar. I had my brother drop off his old drums... some other small things – things I would make or find lying around," he stated. Since then, many tracks from For Emma, Forever Ago have been featured on numerous television shows, some examples include One Tree Hill, Grey's Anatomy, Skins, and Chuck.
His recent EP, called Blood Bank, hit shelves on January 20, 2009.
Track listing: 1. "Flume" 2. "Lump Sum" 3. "Skinny Love" 4. "The Wolves (Act I and II)" 5. "Blindsided" 6. "Creature Fear" 7. "Team" 8. "For Emma" 9. "re: Stacks"
My top 4 favourite songs of this album are Skinny Love, Blindsided, For Emma and re: Stacks.
Skinny Love -
I told you to be patient. I told you to be fine. I told you to be balanced. I told you to be kind. Now all your love is wasted? Then who the hell was I? Now I'm breaking at the britches and at the end of all your lines
Blindsided -
Would you really rush out for me now?
For Emma -
With all your lies, you're still very lovable.
re: Stacks -
This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realization. It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away. Your love will be, safe with me
