*Need To Know - Bon Iver (Artist)

Every so often when browsing through new music, recommendations from friends, hideous Myspace band requests etc. you find a voice that haunts you, stays with you like an audible shadow. You listen, you get busy doing something else, you listen again...you stop whatever you were doing...and just keep listening.



Bon Iver, from Wisconsin, is one such voice. I don't want to try and describe his voice too much because it will probably do him a disservice, likewise I don't want to try and compare him to anyone, but I will say - a voice that induces heartbreak, hope and serenity all in one is pretty rare in my opinion.

His record, 'For Emma, Forever Ago' is out now and I urge you to take a listen to the few tracks here and then take the next logical step...buy the record.
