MONDAY JUNE 2nd
Bon Iver
+ Support TBA
CrawDaddy. Doors 8pm. Tickets €15
Soundtrack 08 brings one of the hottest acts at this year’s South By SouthWest festival to Dublin for their debut show. Signed to 4AD (Beirut, TV on the Radio), Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver penned and recorded his debut album in that lonely bastion of musical integrity, the log cabin, and like Ray Lamontagne before him, has emerged with something very special indeed. Iver's debut has been described as “the kind of haunting, stripped back snapshot on a person's soul that leaves a lasting, at times uncomfortable impression.” (Music Week)
For Emma's tracks consist of thick layers draped in lush choral walls, with rarely more than an ancient acoustic guitar or the occasional bass drum providing structure. Vernon sings the majority of the record in falsetto, which painfully expresses the meanings behind its overt, yet strangely entangled words. This newfound vocal path acts as each song's main character and source of melody.
Despite its complexity, the record was created entirely by Vernon with nothing more than a few microphones and some aged recording equipment. This homemade aspect shows itself in sections as creaks and accidentals are exposed in the folds of the songs, but is hidden well by the highly impressive and almost orchestral sound that Vernon managed to produce by his lonesome, within the creaky skeleton of his father's cabin.
