This set, recorded at Air Studios by the band’s label, is Bon Iver stripped to the bare essentials: two voices (Justin Vernon and his collaborator Sean Carey) and two grand pianos. The result is 25-minutes of beautiful, fragile and gentle renditions of songs that have previously featured on Bon Iver’s albums and EPs. I found it absolutely captivating. I hope you do too.
For those with an eye on the detail, here’s the set list:
1. Hinnom, TX
2. Wash.
3. I Can’t Make You Love Me
4. Babys
5. Beth/Rest
