SINGLE REVIEW
BON IVER
"BLOOD BANK"
JAGJAGUWAR RECORDS
In 200, no album came close to the emotional palpability of IBon iver's debut
For Emma, Forever Ago. "Blood Bank" finds the one-time recluse trading his
acoustic guitar for an electric and his stripped-down aesthetic for a more full-
band sound. Still, no passion is lost in the transition. The song retains everything
we first loved about For Emma: wintry imagery, soothing melodies and a vague
sense of redemption. It starts off familiar, gentle and inviting, and builds slowly to
a climax of feedback and falsetto. If this is the sound of things to come, it could be
another very good year for Justin Vernon.
