  • Beautiful New Album by Bon Iver

    Hailing from Wisconsin, Bon Iver is back with a self titled album that will make you swoon.  Contrary to his beautiful “For Emma, Forever Ago” album, this new release is full of positivity and upbeat instrumentation. Songs have grand instrumental openings and Justin Vernons rustic angelic voice is breathtaking as usual.  One of my favourite albums […]
