Okay, so at this point I am getting sick of all these fucking band guys making albums under band names other than their main bands that sound just like stuff their main bands would make. I feel like I have only reviewed like 3 bands total here, with 98988989 variations of those bands. God damn.
Anyway, I guess Jon Bon Iver (of indie band Bon Iver) thought it would be funny to make a Bon Iver record under a name other than Bon Iver. It's not even a funny joke, it's like he just wanted to screw up people's last.fm charts.
This is pretty much the same folky Bon Iver shit you would expect. Lots of acoustic guitars, lots of reverb, lots of multitracked vocal harmonies, lots of beard, etc., etc. The only difference I hear is the addition of little electronic beeps and boops and the complete absence of real words (actual lyrics from one of the songs: "skibbity squee squeee squibble squib"). I know no one could understand what he was saying before, but seriously now, what the fuck?
Actually wait, no, there are words in a song. The song is "Still" and the lyrics are taken from an already existing Bon Iver song called "Woods". And it's the same autotuned bullshit repeated for like 20 minutes. And by the lyrics being taken from that song, I mean the whole song was reused. They just added some fancy ebows and drums and shit and called it a whole new song. This is a horrible case of song recycling, and I can not honestly support this type of fraud.
Do not buy this album. Download it! But don't listen to it.
Final score:
2.7/10
