what i've been listening to

Lately, I've been listening to Bon Iver. His music snuck up on me in it's own subtle way. The first single I heard was "Skinny Love," and I was intrigued. In addition, there were multiple blogs and reviews that did nothing but speak highly of this new artist. Apparently, Bon Iver is the monniker of Justin Vernon, who decided to write this album while hanging out in a remote cabin in Wisconsin during winter. Bon Iver is also a play on the french words for "good winter." In my opinion, anyone who can make winter sound this good is amazing.

I'm not sure if I can describe the music accurately, or even, how I feel about it....It's beautiful, sweet...I get lost in it as I am listening. Please check him out :)
