Known more for their dance floor releases, Berlin-based duo Mouse on Mars announce Dimensional People featuring Justin Vernon, Aaron and Bryce Dessner (The National), Zach Condon (Beirut), Lisa Hannigan, Sam Amidon, and more.

Our Song of the Day is from Sounds of the South ft: Justin Vernon, Sharon Van Etten, Megafaun, Matthew E. White performing an old American bluegrass gospel song written by EC Ball.

A new Bon Iver video has been released for Beth/Rest…it is one of his more unusual with a new age flare featuring some “interesting” choices of clothing.

While on first appearances an ambitious album, perhaps uncertain of what it wants to be, it succeeds in displaying an expression of sound and an intricacy with detail that shows deft skill in experimentation, something more than making up for moments that don’t quite gel.

A noted highlight of the annual MusicNow festival weekend was a collaboration between Megafaun, Fight The Big Bull, Bon Iver and Sharon Van Etten called Sound Of The South, re-imaginings of the songs recorded by ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax in his early travels.

Bon Iver, the musical project of Justin Vernon, confirms the release of his new album, Bon Iver, Bon Iver, to be released on 20th June. Watch the video trailer.

This press release just rolled in: Americana-folk warriors MEGAFAUN, have been chosen to curate, perform, and record songs/interpretations of Alan Lomax’s classic recordings “Songs of the South” at Duke University this September. Invited guests feature Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten and jazz big band Fight the Big Bull.
