Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago (2007)

It's been a while since last anything, so here's something!

Following the break-up of his long-time band DeYarmond Edison, Justin Vernon decided to go for a fourth month winter stay in a cabin in a the middle of nowhere, Wisconsin. Out there with a guitar and his feelings, he recorded a series of lush, melancholy folk songs. Mostly based around acoustic guitar and Vernon's soulful falsetto, For Emma, Forever Ago sounds like a heartfelt expression of loneliness, and it's pretty as fuck.

The Mountain Goats - Come, Come To The Sunset Tree (Vinyl) (2005)

The vinyl only companion to John Darnielle's 2005 album The Sunset Tree. A limited edition sold only on tour featuring demo versions and b-sides. All the songs are acoustic guitar and voice only, stripped down from the actual album's much more produced sound. And they're just better.

For Lauren.
