Bon Iver's 2008 debut, "For Emma, Forever Ago" was an absolutely brilliant record - just ask pretty much anyone. For his new album, to be released in June, Justin Vernon has hired some additional musicians to flesh out his sound, continuing the pattern from the good-but-slightly-underwhelming Blood Bank EP. Apparently, every song on the album is written about a location, and every song has a different style - the song 'Perth' is going to be a "civil war-sounding heavy metal song", 'Minnesota Wisconsin' will feature "finger-picking guitars, double bass drums and distorted bass saxophone" and 'Beth/Rest' will be "horn heavy". That all said, the 51-second snippet posted on his website shows that he still has his signature sound, so we don't need to worry to much.
