Bon voyage

It's weird that I never really got into Bon Iver, considering the ubiquity of the name-dropping. Or maybe that's been why. Anyway, I admit I'm quite digging the new album, the cheesy parts most of all. Here's one that seems very much of today's moment, what with the scruffy angel falsetto, seemingly mismatched instrumental colors, and general soaringness. Like watching the sunlight dappling on the snow.

Also, it's a good send-off for a much-needed vacation. Going down to the Southern Hemisphere. Back with you on December 6. Enjoy the time between.
