This dude won a Grammy last year, and suddenly everyone was asking, "Who is Bonnie Bear?" The sad thing is, most of these same idiots flocked to theatres for the Twlight films, so they've hear his music before. He's also worked with Kanye West, who seems to provide more "leading" to the general public than the elected officials. Bon Iver, a.k.a. Justin Vernon, started out making music out of a cabin in the woods. Since then, he's gone from an indie inspiration to a fresh breeze in the recording industry. His vocals nearly whisper in falsetto tones as he coasts through his lyrics. Each song from Bon Iver is more than just lyrics and chords; truly, all of Vernon's masterpieces are compositions, in an industry where music has nearly lost its artistry.
You may have heard "Holocene," the single that brought Bon Iver out of obscurity. Here's a few others to check out:
"Skinny Love," For Emma, Forever Ago
"Blindsided," For Emma, Forever Ago
"Rosalyn," Twilight Saga: New Moon, Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
"Blood Bank," Blood Bank EP
