Artist: Bon Iver

Live | Bon Iver @ Hammersmith Apollo, 24th October 2011

Okay so let’s just get this straight: there is more than just one man in Bon Iver. Everyone seems fixated on Justin Vernon, frontman and “face” of the band, but seeing them live was a real eye-opener. There were nine of them. NINE. From percussionists to a bloke with a huge saxophone, Bon Iver...

Live | Ed Sheeran @ Guildford Boileroom, 19 July

Seriously deft on the loop pedal, with the voice of a choirboy-turned-rockstar and a guitar that hasn’t left his side in years, it’s not hard to see why Ed Sheeran’s show at the Boileroom sold out in less than twenty-five minutes. It’s quite clear from the hours FFS spent in Sheeran’s presence that night...

Album: Bon Iver – Bon Iver

22 June 2011

Album: Bon Iver – Bon Iver

Justin Vernon returns with a more integral cast of collaborators for his second album as Bon Iver. The name is drawn from the French for “good winter” (bon hiver) and the often sparse instrumentation coupled with Vernon’s alternately hushed and soaring vocals seem fitting of that moniker. The 10 songs on show, which were...

Stream Bon Iver’s new album in full

Bon Iver’s new album is another slice of magic, if you ask me, which you didn’t. But starting from now you don’t have to ask anyone. You can hear it for yourself, because it’s streaming over on the Guardian website. And it’s lucky it’s good because in an interview with the Guardian’s Laura Barton,...

The Folk Artist Twitter Directory

6 May 2010
By Stephen W Thomas

Below is our attempt at a comprehensive directory of folk artists currently on Twitter – of course, we aren’t Twitter deities and as such will almost certainly have missed out on certain artists. Let us know if you can think of any tweeting folk musicians in the comments below. Akron/Family Angus and Julia Stone...

FFS’s Glasto part #1: Rich Furlong – Slow Club, Fleet Foxes, Animal Collective, Bat For Lashes, Bon Iver, Blur

13 July 2009
By Lynn Roberts

“I hate Glastonbury so much, I really do.” Now, as festival gambits go, this is a feisty (if not downright wreckless) one. However, 10 minutes into a Worthy Farm debut marred by sound problems, tetchy stewards and an unresponsive crowd, Slow Club perhaps have the right to be a little miffed. Fortunately, as the...

Bon Iver

8 January 2009
By Lynn Roberts
Bon Iver

Having only released one album and one EP under the moniker Bon Iver, the attention that Wisconsin-native Justin Vernon has received is more than astounding, but definitely deserved. His stripped-back folk, gorgeously layered with a fragile voice, evokes not only isolation and heartbreak, but sun-lit glimmers of hope. They Say: “Every album is a...
