Bon Iver - Bon Iver (Full Album Stream)

As a generous gesture, Bon Iver lets the world stream their highly anticipated self-titled sophomore effort. If you are looking for a common subject matter of the piece, you might find yourself repeating the songs multiple times. As Justin Vernon revealed to The New York Times:

“There’s finding love, not needing love, and then there’s sleeping with your buddy’s girlfriend. I’m not really asking you to hear what I’m saying too much because I would have spoken the words harder. It was important for me to discard the storytelling aspect of it. It’s such a weird thing: People sing sad songs and then they have to sing them all the time. Thus I had to create songs so unspecific that I’m not actually going to use words that have specific meanings.”

That very vagueness, however, might be one of the biggest winning points of this album. Bon Iver is out June 21 via Jagjaguwar. Stream above.
