[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

Justin Vernon side project due out in September.

Discuss. Hype. Etc.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Hmm.

[thespearkid]

Hopefully better than the Blood Bank EP.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Blood Bank EP was ace.

[thespearkid]

It's never hit me like For Emma did.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

EP's generally don't hit as hard as full albums, obviously. I always think of EP's as a directional view of what's to come - and I couldn't be happier.

Hmm.

agreed.

I'm interested to see what this is like. Seems he wouldn't release it as a seperate project if it wasn't at least somewhat of a departure from Bon Iver.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

True enough. I'll check it out regardless; dude knows how to put out decent music.

It's an EP.

Unmap should be somewhat similar to what Collections Of Colonies Of Bees is doing, simply with Vernon's vocals and a handful of his influences tagging along. Considering how blatantly Reichian Babys is, I wouldn't be surprised if that type of instrumentation seeps into the album at some point. Regardless, I'm looking forward to this.

[kemichels]

needs more screaming on dis album.

[a morning view]

Leaked.

This sounds great so far.

[11:11]

Listening, really like it.

[imahoodlum]

Listening to it now. I think I like "Stills" more than I like "Woods" from the Blood Bank ep. Woods was an instant favorite from the ep so I'm kind of glad they capitalized on it. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you will when you hear it.

[xJesusFreakx]

Oh, this leaked? Cool. I'll have to go find it.

I liked the song on their MySpace, but I definitely won't like this as much as Bon Iver. If I can listen without thinking of that, though, it should be good. If I like it enough, I'll go on to check out Collections of Colonies of Bees.

Oh yes, do this when you get a chance. For sure.

[christopher™]

i love this.

[musikjunky311]

I must say after a few listens, I like it, but I don't think it is one of those albums you can listen to all the time. But I still felt "at home" while listening to it, and it is an interesting departure from Bon iver. It is like he had some weird songs with next to no lyrics so he made this. Overall rating= Great.

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

Listening for the first time.

[xJesusFreakx]

They didn't have it at any stores around me, so I'll have to check online for it. :/

[Klatzke]

I really really like this album.

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

Love the rework of Woods.

[Metal Now]

I liked Unmap, I'll check this out.
