TUESDAY BLUES! Bon Iver - Holocene
This is Bon Iver's new single and is the stand out track from the 2nd Album. I became a huge fan after hearing "Skinny Love" a few years and whether you like men singing falsetto or not, you can't deny the "sonic soundscape" that he creates. I usually like things to sound clear and crisp, but when I heard "for emma for ever ago" it changed everything - The singing-in-a-box reverb, acoustic guitars ringing and audio quality that was so bad, its good. Whereas the second album is more polished - I absolutely adore this song, especially the part where the shakers kick in, the double drummers playing soldier beats and the fella on the trombone/percussion adding more layers and flavours than an "all you can eat pizza". Listen to it on headphones, I'm sure there's pepperoni in there!

By that I mean that I like who I like and often find it hard to listen to new (to me) bands unless it's played to death on the radio or TV. I have heard of Bon Iver of course, but never really paid them much attention.
So thank you SFW et al for the tunes that you are sharing with us, that otherwise may have passed me by.
About this song in particular I have to say I really like his voice, reminds me a little of Guy Garvey in parts and I will definitely check their album out
