I downloaded Bon Iver's "The Wolves" last year because it was featured in Grey's Anatomy.
I liked the song but didn't really think much more about the band until I read this column in the New Yorker.
Turns out Bon Iver is the creation of Wisconsin native Justin Vernon, who made the album while living in a hunting cabin for 3 months.
Sasha Frere-Jones, who wrote the New Yorker piece, praises Vernon's talents so much I felt compelled to download the whole album from eMusic.
It is hauntingly good.
