Sucker for 12-strings

Bon Iver makes me wish it was winter all the time.

I can’t stop listening to “Skinny Love”: it’s one of those songs that begs to be played again and again. Justin Vernon croons with the earnestness of Damien Jurado and the growling force of TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe. And that falsetto! It kills me. Kills me. The strumming is rough and uneven, the melodic structure isn’t revolutionary, but why fix what isn’t broken? It’s warm and cozy, like my house would be if I could afford to pay for heat.

One of my favorite 3 albums of this year.

It is nothing short of amazing.
