_Justin Vernon – A Song For a Lover of Long Ago

Bon Iver put out one of the best indie folk albums of the last decade with 2008′s For Emma, Forever Ago, but what did frontman Justin Vernon do in his days before he was singing about “Skinny Love?”

Well, Vernon released an EP titled Hazleton with a track called “Song For a Lover of Long Ago.” The song doesn’t deviate too far away from Bon Iver’s sound. It spans just over eight minutes, so it requires a little patience, but Vernon is as intimate and heartfelt as ever on this recording.
