Briefly: Download Bon Iver’s Calgary

The circumstances leading to the recording of Bon Iver’s debut For Emma, Forever Ago helped produce one of the most achingly beautiful and emotional albums in quite some time. The question was what would Justin Vernon do without the inspiration of devastating heartbreak to avoid the dreaded sophomore slump? Well, while we will have to wait until June 21, when the band releases their full-length follow up, for that answer, today they released the first taste of what’s to come with a free download of the track Calgary, which you can also stream in the widget below…

For now, what we do know from a few listens to Calgary is that the band has a much lusher and dynamic sound, replete with a horn section, and of course Vernon’s now signature haunting, falsetto singing voice.

Give it a spin and let us know what you think…
