from North Carolina duo’s debut album – Hymns for a dark horse.
the amazing BON IVER:
“They’ve become very very dear friends of mines but before I got to be friends with them,
the song really changed my life. It was definitely a moment in time when I first watched
them play, and the way that the song (starts doing the drums), there are just these kind
of tempos, slow downs and speed ups, the melody and Phil’s voice, the strange and
beautiful places he takes you with his lyrics…

It was when I was living in North Carolina so it must have been in early 2006. I’d never
met them before, all the songs blew my mind. But that song, I went home, and that
was the first time i thought about quitting music. Yeah, it really was, I really wasn’t
sure I could do it anymore, because that song was so good. I thought what I saw
that night just may be better than anything I could ever do.”
