Loving this from [Justin Vernon's] Volcano Choir

^Also, from a recent interview:

 

When asked about his intentions to make more music under his solo moniker, Vernon said that he wasn't in the right headspace to write for Bon Iver:

"I don't really write songs anymore," he said. "The last Bon Iver record was a very 'sitting down with a guitar and writing' kind of record. I really have to be in a specific headspace to even begin to illuminate an idea that would create another Bon Iver record, and I'm just not there.

I'm really honoured that Bon Iver gives me a platform to do whatever I want, but there's only so much time you can spend digging through yourself before you become insular. I'm not in a hurry to go back to that temperature. All of the music I've been making shifting away from Bon Iver feels really good ... so if I ever do go back to Bon Iver it will be all the better for it."

Curious really, if Justin had released this track and called it Bon Iver, I strongly suspect that people would have eaten it up. Great song though. So much lovely music out this month already.

What are the odds of having two songs with choruses made up of wild animal noises posted on the same page?

MØ again, this time with Diplo in tow. Album please!
 

New track by Sharon Van Etten. Album please!

The title track from the new Arcade Fire album was scheduled to be unveiled tomorrow morning, but it appears to have been leaked a little early...
