I have had a bunch of people tell me I needed to check out Bon Iver and I have not done so until I saw this post. I like what I heard, very chill yet emotive. I listened to the song "Wash". The simplicity of the piano with the interweaving strings and haunting vocals are really effective. The songwriter "Justin Vernon" is from a town in Wisconsin called Eau Claire and this is perhaps why he refrains the name "Claire" throughout. I appreciate you providing the catalyst for me to finally check out this band, I will definitely be digging in further -they warrant a closer look!! BTW according to Wikipedia, the name Bon Iver is derived from French "Bon Hiver" meaning good winter. -Seems fitting.
