Bon Iver - Flume

If you ask me, Bon Iver (his real name is Justin Vernon) draws the most immediate comparison to artists like Iron and Wine, and that’s a good thing. Artists like these guys tend to be minimal in their approach: a guy, a guitar, and intimate vocals. Music like this works equally as well for a rainy/snowy day as it does for a random Sunday morning. Truthfully, I find myself throwing Bon Iver on the iPod anytime I want something relaxing that won’t dominate the space between my ears, and that’s pretty often these days.

Flume is the lead-off track to Bon Iver’s recently re-released debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago, and you would be remiss not to buy yourself a copy. I cannot recommend this album highly enough.

When you’re done listening to Flume, you might also consider checking out Bon Iver’s tumblelog, Creature Fear.
