Black Rose Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 His album (For Emma, Forever Ago) is one the most beautiful works of art I have heard in ages, so simple yet so efficient. Joint album of the year so far for me. Following the break-up of his previous band, Justin Vernon secluded himself to a cabin in northwestern Wisconsin for three months planning to "hibernate." Three months of solitude resulted in the creation of For Emma, Forever Ago. "All of his personal trouble, lack of perspective, heartache, longing, love, loss and guilt that had been stock piled over the course of the past six years, was suddenly purged into the form of song." The record is entirely the creation of Justin Vernon, "despite its complexity, the record was created with nothing more than a few microphones and some aged recording equipment."

MrMagpie Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Could you maybe PM or post a link in the non-CP multimedia section? If its one of David's favourite albums this year I'll have to check it out. I've listened a little on pitchfork and myspace and liked what I heard.

Black Rose Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 My only worry is that technically it's a 2007 album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
