Song of the Week


Bon Iver

The D Man recently mentioned Bon Iver's epoch "Holocene." Well, now follows the appropriately epic video. With the backdrop of Iceland as a formidable walking companion, the video follows a boy on a grand, solitary adventure. Walking stick in hand, the boy traverses plains, hills, fjords, glaciers, and lava fields. He skips rocks. He climbs. He listens. During his ultimate triumph, amid the song's icy wistfulness, not even the northern sun can prevent shivers up the spine.
