you’re breaking your ground
As I walk through the soft summer rain in Seoul, the new album by Bon Iver, and this song in particular, strike a emphatically familiar but still entirely different chord from his previous album. While the desperation that marks his previous is noticeably absent, it has been quietly replaced by a patient yearning confided to us by nearly every chord and turn of the music. This creates an experience that is surprising, wonderful, but also equally meaningful to For Emma, if somewhat unexpected after the release of Blood Bank.
