ok, decided to start a music blog.

first off, i'm so damn frustrated that i forgot all my html and now i've got no idea how to edit the template on my own. ugh.

secondly, as a result of the first point, the blog looks WAY too minimalist.



to start off, Bon Iver is essentially a one man outfit, founded by Justin Vernon. For Emma, Forever Ago was it's debut album, self-released in 2007 and subsequently released by Jagjaguwar in 2008. While made up of mostly acoustic songs, one should not take this lightly but indulge in the melancholy and nakedness of these songs. The almost title track, For Emma starts off with an intro that tingles ever so slightly, the entire song is aural plesantry that makes you crave for more and you definitely won't be disappointed. With songs like Re: Stacks and Flume, this is one album you shouldn't be missing out on and has seen regular time on most of my current playlists.

For Emma, Forever Ago is one fantastic album. Absolutely beautiful music from justin, it is totally something you'd turn on while lazing around at home. Actually, I could listen to this anywhere, over and over again.
