Great new band - Bon Iver

I've heard these guys a ton lately on my local radio station - my favorite radio station of all time to be exact - 89.3 The Current in Minneapolis. They're Bon Iver - pronounced Eevair- and I think they'd fall into the category of a certain friend's chill music. I tend to be a fan of music that's a little more rocking, but I like a few songs from these guys. The singer has an odd yet pleasing melodic falsetto voice that sounds good on the album. But, it's overdubbed, so their upcoming performance at SXSW may not be as good. For Emma and Skinny Love are great tunes.

He is totally great live. Check out the NPR Concert podcast from the Feb. 19 show at DC's Rock and Roll Hotel!
