you meddling kids: Bon Iver's "Calgary"



By now Bon Iver's debut For Emma, Forever Ago has achieved legendary status. Cutting through the bullshit myth-making and one fantastic follow=up EP, does Justin Vernon and company have what it takes to woo the hearts of indiekids everywhere with a new set of melancholic and angelic folk tunes?

"Calgary," the first inkling from Bon Iver feels like a new-wave hymm combined with Vernon's signature harmonies and somber feel mixed with a bit of sex appeal. Nothing like crying in the back of the club right? Bon Iver drops June 21st on Jagjaguwar.
