I've been both overwhelmed and yet underwhelmed by my music library recently and turned to one of my favorite radio stations, KCRW for a summer refresh. An Acapella came on that struck me, unbelievably beautiful, contemporary, familiar. It was Bon Iver. The track is Woods and it still gives me chills listening to it. Mr. Vernon, if you're out there and somehow read this, thank you for contributing what I think is some of the best music this decade has seen ( or heard )
If you are unfamiliar with Justin Vernon ( AKA Bon Iver ) we wrote about him here ( cough, cough ) in 2007. His bio can be found on Wikipedia, and of course there's his site and that Myspace thing.
