Along with dropping one of my favorite remixes of 2008, Justin Vernon earned a spot on plenty of year-end lists with his Bon Iver debut, For Emma, Forever Ago. He returns in a couple of weeks with four new tracks. From the one-sheet:
"As much as Emma is about the cold, the Blood Bank collection is about the warmth that gets you through it. You can feel the air move. Like a fire you've been stoking for hours and finally got to sustain itself, the heat blisters your face while your back is frozen solid."
Winter must really suck in Wisconsin.
The Blood Bank EP hits retailers January 20 on Jagjaguwar. Download the title track below, thanks to Aquarium Drunkard.
