Bon Iver, aka Justin Vernon, has just blown the top off the auto-tune's precipice. Under the collaborative Volcano Choir he's just released a new album ~ Unmap ~ and it starts with the hateful application, but with time the chimes and drums give resonance and validity to the fad.
It unfolds itself with tidal wave rhythms of said tune, but choir, chimes and blanketed sheets of vocal bliss with encouraging yes-please ambiance makes it a portrait worth appraisal. Sounding much better than the original version of The Woods he put out last year.
Volcano Choir; the one that's good like wine, just give it time:
The Woods. Sans choir. Don't listen too long. Seriously. Just making a point.
Thanks for the lead, DNUGG.

Port O'Brien
The new album ~ Threadbare ~ will be out in the US next Tues. Oct. 6th. They just completed a live show in Seattle and will spend 2 nights in NYC : 10/14 at Mercury Lounge. 10/16 @ Union Hall.
Port O'Brien. They lost a brother of the band earlier this year... very resonant in the album. Heavy.
