He’s apparently been working on several songs with Alicia Keys for an unspecified project, starting up a blues-gospel side project called the Shouting Matches and also working on an album with Volcano Choir that he says is for the Japanese market. He turned down the opportunity to perform at the Grammy Awards ceremony, however, after finding out that they would be expected to perform a collaboration with other artists rather than one o ...

A new offshoot of Volcano Choir recalls the golden era of post-rock

Click here for download Sounds like: S. Carey, Volcano Choir Song: Bon Iver - Holocene (Deadwood Floats Cover) [download here ] What's so good? Justin Vernon was recently nominated for somewhere around 4 Grammys. Naturally (or not), that has led to an explosion of remixes and covers, many of which have actually been quite impressive. And so Deadwood Floats has joined the club with their own rendition of “Holocene.” Perhaps one of the easiest covers to pull off is a piano rendition of an acoustic song, though that doesn’t necessarily detract from the enjoyment of the original. Some might argue ...

Post-rock saw itself subject to a bit of a mainstream vogue a few years back. Maybe it was at the hands of Sigur Ros’ Takk , which found its way onto a plethora of BBC television shows. It certainly seemed to raise a call for epic, sparkling guitar songs on TV, to the point where even Oceansize’s mighty (but largely unrecognised outside of musical circles) ‘Music For A Nurse’ graced an Orange ad. Then again, perhaps (from a strictly musical point of view, at least) post-rock’s most recent wave came two years earlier, with Explosions in the Sky’s ...

Il est loin l'épisode du mec qui se barre dans une cabane au fin fond d'une forêt des Etats-Unis après une rupture sentimentale pour faire le point sur sa vie et enregistrer l'un des plus beaux albums du début du siècle. Entre-temps il a fait de jolies choses avec Volcano Choir, Gayngs, enregistré un nouvel EP avec Bon Iver ( Blood Bank ), enchaîné les collaborations avec de talentueux artistes ( Kanye West et Lia Ices , St Vincent pour ne citer qu'eux), bref, il a fait son petit bout de chemin. Grâce à ces side-projects et collaborations, il a ...

"Hinnom, TX" from the album Bon Iver, Bon Iver 2011 iTunes Justin Vernon's beginnings as Bon Iver have been repeatedly mythologized — often as a distracted pretext to the man's work, managing to become an archetypal cliche for allusive solo-artist majesty and idealistic press-kit talking points. Cabin/Wisconsin/woods. Got it. But it's only been three years since Bon Iver's debut For Emma, Forever Ago and Vernon seemed to move on from his genesis as an indie poster child for isolated post-breakup snow covered laments before we did. He quickly followed Emma with a four-track EP that ...
