The tenth and last track off the album entitled Beth/Rest is dripping with 80′s influences. From production values to melodies.
Directed by Isaac Gale and David Jensen, filmed in Fall Creek, WI.

Bon Iver 9

Bon Iver // Lisbon, OH

This video apparently sets out to recreate a house fire that singer Justin Vernon lists as a defining moment in his life…

Bon Iver 8

Bon Iver // Calgary

There isn’t really a lot I can say about the video for the eighth track off the album. So I’ve decided to let you, the viewer, draw your own conclusions. I know what I see and how it makes me feel but I get the distinct impression this will be vastly different for everybody.

Holy State 1

Holy State // Album trailer

With the banging news that Holy State will be adding some more rawk to Brew Records already very rambunctious roster, here is a little teaser of what is to come.

Due for release on 30/04/2012, ‘Electric Picture Palace’ promises to be deep and dirty.

Bon Iver 7

For the seventh track ‘Wash.’ we get our first glimpses of a person, albeit just feet. Filmed with a handheld camera this video jolts around like an old home video filmed on a super 8…

Bon Iver 6

Bon Iver // Hinnom, TX

As we move onto the sixth track of Bon Iver’s self titled second album we are treated to a song with a much bigger electronic influence . This comes across brilliantly in the video, with a nice long organic build up into a radiant sunset crackling along with the music.

This time directed by Isaac Gale and David Jensen. Filmed in Wyoming.

Bon Iver 5

Bon Iver // Michicant

The fifth in this mini series of Bon Iver videos depicts simple but beautiful imagery perfectly capturing the essence of Michicant.

I’m running out of ways to wax lyrical about these stunning videos. Again a beautiful execution of a fabulous concept.

Filmed in Minneapolis

Bon Iver 3

Bon Iver // Holocene

The London based instrumental three piece treated us to all four tracks off of their recently released, self titled, debut EP. The band are playing a handful of gigs around the London area over the coming months and we suggest you get out there and show them some love because they certainly know how put on a live show.

Anchorsong

Recorded at Unit in Tokyo recently this is Japanese multi-instrumentalist and producer Anchorsong. Gaining widespread recognition from his live shows including appearances at SXWS, Anchorsong has also enjoyed a bit of Radio 1 airplay…

Knesset

Beat Of The Week // Knesset

The Knesset debut album ‘Coming Of Age’ is a wonderful record that I’m finding it hard to stop listening to, full of well written and carefully crafted songs. Their sound is one full of expansive melodies, lush vocals, and dreamy pop hooks, yet all delivered with a quiet confidence . . .

TheBandInHeaven

Beat Of The Week // The Band In Heaven

The Orlando duo of Ates Isildak and Lauren Dwyer produce a diverse mix of music, creating beautiful droning mellow moments…
