I'd seen the name Bon Iver around but never taken much notice not knowing the music or the act (I now know it's a band and not an individual). Last year I watched the BBC coverage of Glastonbury and flicking around saw their set. Knocked out. They were excellent. I then captured the mp3 of this which is below. After buying the albums and Blood Bank EP I am a firm fan. Nothing better than finding something new out of the blue, totally unexpected and wondering why you have missed it in the first place. I really thought this was an old hand singing english folk songs who someone had wheeled out for a last gasp on the festival circuit. Nothing to a name obviously (I was told it's derivative of the french "good winter" "Bon H'iver" as they are canadian) If that's not true well.... Bon Iver Glastonbury 09
