Carey is best known as the drummer and supporting vocalist of indie folk band Bon Iver. Vernon's college years helped shape his personal inclination towards experimenting with music. He formed the 'DeYarmond Edison' band in with his college friends and went to Raleigh, North Carolina as an attempt to break into the music industry.
The band released a record for each year between and , after which it broke up. It was evident at this point that though their separation was amicable, the band members and Vernon were on different musical journeys. Back in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Vernon decided to form another band. After spending a few months in an isolated cabin during winters, Vernon was brimming with creative spirit.
He devised the band's name as 'Bon Iver', which is a French term meaning 'good winter', as a fond remembrance of the winter in the cabin. The name of the band is closely linked to Justin Vernon, such that many fans don't know he true name. Bon Iver's first album titled 'Forever Ago, For Emma' was released in , which contains songs that have touched the hearts of many people across the world. From then one, there was only one way to go, and that was upwards. Sing your heart out.
Though Bon Iver is often synonymous with its front-man Justin Vernon, the band is made of a total of five core band members, each a key to the band's success. The following are the band members, their musical roles, and a bit about how they were discovered. As mentioned previously, Justin Vernon founded the band and therefore assumed the role of the band's front-man.
He is Bon Iver's lead vocalist, whose incredible skills on the guitar often accompany his singing. Sean Carey, commonly referred to by the moniker 'S. Carrey' is well-known as the drummer for the Bon Iver band. His skills on the drums and the keyboard helped bring the indie essence in the music produced.
Aside from playing the instruments, S. Carey is also an accompanying vocalist for the band. Known for managing the bass and the drums, McCaughan is a big part of the Bon Iver band. The varied sounds of the bass adds depth to the music produced, and is accentuated at points by his accompanying vocalizations. Michael Lewis, also known as 'Mike' Lewis, is one of the band members who were not originally from Wisconsin.
Lewis came from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is renowned for his skills on the bass and saxophone. The Bon Iver greatly benefits from his talents on multiple instruments including the baritone guitar, the regular guitar, and even the violin. Many songs also include his vocals. Based in Wisconsin, Andrew Fitzpatrick has been a core member of the band since it was formed in Specializing in the guitar and the keyboard, Fitzpatrick plays a big role in managing the overall sound of the band.
He often joins in the song with his diverse vocalizations that enrich the music overall. It is your time to sing, and write a song. This album was made as a result of a cathartic isolation experienced by Justin Vernon as he stayed in a cabin during winters. At the time he was recovering from a break-up, a move, and an illness.
The year-old Australian producer and songwriter first rose to prominence with his single, "Chihiro," a meditative slow-building track that exemplifies the beautifully moving power found within simplicity.
Since the release of "Chihiro," Yoste has continued on in releasing singles that demonstrate the young talent's innate ability for giving life to vivid sonic landscapes abounding with emotion, including 's standout single " Arc. The parallels to Allan Rayman and Bon Iver are readily apparent.
The two are both enigmatic figures who self-released their debut album, Rayman's Hotel Allan in , to unexpected major word-of-mouth-fueled buzz, they share a talent for utilizing minimalism to the fullest, and they have a penchant for titling songs after landlocked locales. The resulting combination sounds simultaneously as classic as the artist's mountain state, as much as it resounds like something wholly unwitnessed and new unto itself.
Truly touching music coexists as poetry. It's the summation of the mundane and day-to-day life experiences we witness every day, which, when put to song, transforms the day-to-day into something grandiose that speaks to our very soul. In For Emma, Forever Ago , Vernon summarized his life events at the time, ranging from lost love to plain mediocrity, and Swedish rising star Albin Lee Meldau transforms the often harsh realities he's borne witness to into soul-bearing numbers.
One needs to look no further than "Lou Lou," the singer's standout hit that grapples with themes of addiction, mental illness, and drug abuse, to bear witness to a newcomer with an arresting voice who is actively transforming the world around him into musical poetry.
