Bon Iver - 22, A Million

First Bon Iver record in 5 years drops on Sep 30th. Any other J Vern fans here?

Yeah, Deathbreast is wicked. Love that beat. The other track is okay, kinda predictable. Maybe it's more of a grower?

Should be interesting to hear what direction the rest of the album's gonna take

never really cared for him but that art above will force me to check this out

dEaThBrEaST is kinda WTFing my head... A clash of aesthetics not so easy to swallow. The track below it is smooth by comparison. My ears shall remain open to possibilities.

Bibio seems to be doin this sound in a more lush way, and without the KW connection.

really enjoying those 2 tracks

bon iver goes idm

(love this shit, very original production, definitely yeezus-inspired as some of you called out)

Love Bibio, but this track is the undisputed king of uber-corny modern soft rock.

Finally!!!!!!!! the two tracks are incredible. 

for those who have missed it

masterpiece

I lump Bon Iver in with other Pitchfork critical darling shite like Joanna Newsom but just heard 22 (over soon).

Gonna have to just admit that is a really special tune.

I can see why he gets mixed in with that crowd, but honestly, his work is more interesting and has far more depth than the rest of that Pitchfork/indie-folk/beard garbage. This guy is the real deal.

His Volcano Choir side-project is also worth checking out too...

Only thing associated with Bon Iver I've ever liked:

Fresh choonage

Mmmnn not bad. Thanks for posting. Might have to check this album out, but the renegade anti-mainstream Mr Hyde lurking inside of me tells me to beware.

beware of bon iver?  this guy is one of the few real talent in mainstream. 

Im blown away by this track! this is just so good

Radiohead, dino jr and now bon iver this year!

album leaked. 

track 8-9-10 are very special and it close the album on very touching way. but really the whole album is beautiful.

Even less guitar then bon iver album, lots of very slow tracks and lots electronica influence. he uses saxophone in the most beautiful way, use different arrangements of voices and samples that seem to pop up uniquely in that very bon iver melodic way. he makes his arrangement sounds so simple, yet filled with so many musical ideas. 

undoubtly less commercial that his bon iver album. I really suck at describing those things, after 4 listen now, im in love. as much as I love his 2 first albums, this album fits more my taste.

8 circle in particular is the best track of the year for me but the track 8-9-10 are just perfect.

very risky project, wont suit everyone I think. for me though, its a very intime album. a Bijou this year for me.

Gonna do my best to resist the leak and live bootlegs

Although I did hear the track he previewed at his fest last year (666?) and thought it was immense. But back then it was unclear whether there was a new album/if this new material would make it, so I allowed myself to become acquainted with that one

Excited to hear dis, can't wait to check out all the artwork too!

the big difference is he has a pleasant voice

I look forward to this, I like the direction he's taken. Wasn't hugely enamored with his past stuff but the guy is talented.

There are loads of beautiful silences on this album.
