The man who brought us the masterpiece, For Emma, Forever Ago, is soon to release the follow-up EP, Blood Bank. Given the staggering acclaim For Emma received, his approach to the release must have been a nervous one, weighed down by the expectations of an entire music industry and its league of followers. Blood Bank is no disappointment, though: he calls it a ‘palette cleanser’ after For Emma, and it continues its themes of wintery isolation and introspection. The harmonies on tracks like Beach Baby are beautiful, and the production equally exquisite.

I think Bon Iver is the name of the band, as the myspace page you linked lists 4 members, none of whom are named Bon Iver. Just to be anal, you know.

You’re right Ali. But in fairness, I think Justin Vernon (“The man who brought us the masterpiece, For Emma, Forever Ago”) does all the songwriting.
