Justin Vernon has always been the sort of man who keeps his hands in many pots, joining project after project, creating band after band, holing up in random secluded cabins in Wisconsin when time allows. So when he announced that there would indeed be a follow up to Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago, color me surprised. I had thought the man was far too busy with his various side projects to even think about revisiting his Bon Iver moniker. Well now, Vernon is giving listeners a taste of the new album he's been teasing at in the form of new track/single "Calgary". The first of his place-inspired tracks it combines what fans love about Bon Iver: the slow building sonic cloud and Vernon's falsetto with a newfound form. "Calgary" is similar to Bon Iver's normal dewy, atmospheric vibe but is essentially a two part-er without actually committing to it. Not entirely. The second part is where things thaw, get brighter, more uplifting. It's enough to make you absolutely giddy for the album's release - only you know in a more relaxed, zen-like way.
