I was not magnificent

You probably don’t need me to tell you how good the self-titled new Bon Iver album is. But seriously, it’s awesome. I wrote about it for Exclaim! a while back, and I still can’t believe how much better it is than 2007’s also-awesome For Emma, Forever Ago.

In case you’re one of the seven people who reads music blogs and hasn’t listened to it yet, check out the delicate, falsetto-laden “Holocene” below.

If you haven’t gotten around to checking this album out yet, I apologize for indirectly insulting you or suggesting that you’re out of touch. As a music writer, I get in a mindset in which it some inconceivable that someone hasn’t heard the new Bon Iver/Fleet Foxes/Washed Out/whoever. It’s my fault, not yours. That said, the song below is good.

    I don’t actually like this album all that much, but I love this jam and play it a crazy amount all things considered.

    I know it’s schmaltz, but “Beth/Rest” just slays me.
