His first album, For Emma, Forever Ago was a brilliant example of indie lo-fi folk, and just how far raw talent and a cool indie label will get you these days. This new 4-track EP shows Mr. Iver trying a few different things this time, even going as far as to use autotuned vocals on one track. I'm not normally a fan of those, since they seem to be used exclusivly by overly commercial rappers who want to make themselves sound like robots. He does however, use them to great effect. The track he has up on MySpace, Blood Bank is a song more along the style of his album. Definatly worth a listen. Although the standard of songs on the EP is not as good as For Emma, it is only an EP, and does point towards good things in the future from him. Indie has a future, and it's name is Bon Iver.
