Fleet Foxes ‘Olivia, In a Separate Bed’
February 22, 2012
Robin Pecknold has implied through some recent tweets that there’s trouble in his love life. Just yesterday, he flat-out tweeted that he had ended his relationship with his longtime girlfriend, Olivia. (he has since deleted the tweets). Just within the last hour or so, he posted this song on Soundcloud, via Twitter, tugging at heartstrings across the globe. Poor boy is wearing his heart on his sleeve and appears to have launched a campaign to get her back. This may be one of the most romantic moments in rock, in my humble opinion. I wish the best for him and if I were Olivia, I’d be hard-pressed not to forgive a man who wrote a love song about me. Hell, he had me at the title. #oliviatakehimback

4AD Sessions with Bon Iver and S.Carey
February 20, 2012
Recorded in AIR Studio’s Lyndurst Hall – a building that was originally a church and missionary school designed in 1880 by the great Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse (designer of the Natural History Museum) – Vernon was joined only by Sean Carey, with the pair positioning themselves opposite one another at two grand pianos. Although neither Justin nor Sean’s first instrument is piano, they were able to remodel the songs in a way that showcases their complimentary vocals and, perhaps more strikingly, a seemingly effortless ability to experiment with form and structure.
As such, fans are treated to jaw-dropping interpretations of several songs from both the new album and the Blood Bank EP, as well as a cover of Bonnie Raitt’s ‘I Can’t Make You Love Me’. And interpretation is an apt word, as these songs are artfully abstracted from their original incarnations. Rather than layer the sound as on Bon Iver, Bon Iver, the focus is on paring back, in part evoking the minimalist approach of contemporary classical music, while remaining true enough to the source material to retain those elements characteristic of Bon Iver.
As on ‘Babys’ and ‘Hinnom, TX’, Justin’s trademark falsetto is positioned centre stage, framed by subtle and unexpected instrumental flourishes that render the performance simultaneously weighty and airless. It’s quite an achievement that songs so widely-known and loved in their recorded form are able gain in emotional impact, and stands as testament to Bon Iver’s singular talent.
