Description

"It's like good death- good winter. Things need rest."


These are the words of Bon Iver's frontman, Justin Vernon, on why he chose the aforementioned band name. Unlike most artists who are hoping to have their 'big breakthrough moment', Vernon holds far more yearning to be able to hide from the public and so, to metaphorically 'die'.


But despite him choosing a band name that he thought could justify his seclusion from the music scene, Justin Vernon has instead pre-established the one thing he was trying to run away from- the permanence of Bon Iver's art and impact. Whilst Justin might get away with resembling the ephemeral winter, it's Bon Iver's music that remains as infinite as the seasons,-welcome to this episode of Six Notes of Separation.


Amongst the tale of Bon Iver tale, I'll also be diving into the connection between this episode and last episode's 'Tyler, The Creator' and if you want to put a face to the voice, head over to Youtube to watch the pod there: https://youtu.be/IZiozI9bigA
