Bon Iver: Calgary.

I find it difficult to put into words how good the new Bon Iver album is, it's sensational. I truly hope it never grows old on me, none of his previous work has yet, so I plan to have very happy ears for a very long time.

For all the glorious music Bon Iver has brought into our lives, we are yet to see a music video. Not because nobody wants to watch one, far from it, as his live videos have clocked up literally millions of hits on Youtube. But here it is, at last, a music video from Bon Iver.



It's beautiful, it's weird and eery and you're left wondering what quite to make of it all. Perfect. It must be tough to match visuals to your songs that are geniunely loved around the world, for the first time. I think he just about pulls it off in his own unique way. I really hope there's a couple more videos to come from his incredible album, or maybe a mini-movie such as Kanye West's Runaway. Now that would be special.
