14. Bon Iver - Bon Iver
Bon Iver (pronounced ee vare) is for all intents and purposes Justin Vernon. The band name comes from bon hiver which is French for good winter. Vernon wrote the first album in a cabin in the woods in Wisconsin over three months. Now the band includes Michael Noyce, Sean Carey and Matthew McCaughan. The new album is also written in Wisconsin in a remodeled veterinarian clinic. He brings in a lot more help on this album, which gives it a heavier feel. While this is mostly an indie folk album, his haunting lyrics change the tone and the use of some electronica separate it from the pack. This is some of the best late night chill music to listen to and I cannot recommend it enough. I have below my favorite video of the year, which is the song 'Hinnon, TX' shot through this great filter. The second is my favorite song off this album, which is 'Calgary' and it is just perfect.
