Bon Iver - For Emma Forever Ago

I'd heard so much about this record, and all good, that I couldn't wait for the 4AD UK release in May and so bought the US import. Played it for the first time this evening and am struggling to describe it.

Its an incredibly atmospheric listening experience, so much so that you sometimes feel that he is in the room singing to you. It is also one of the most special, unique albums I have heard in a long time.

Full review soon.
