reblogBon Iver is working on a side project. He has recorded indie rock covers of American Revolution songs and produced them on vinyl, and is sliding the records into hand-embossed leather covers made from the results of last summer’s bison-hide tanning project and placing them into boxes engraved with birds that live not in this world, but in a universe of his own imagining - birds like the Whisper Finch, whose feathers are acoustically perfect and have psychic properties: when they fly, they produce audible dreams and feelings.
He is making one box each for every person he has ever loved. He will deliver them on his motorbike during his sabbatical.
“The indie rock band from Tennessee explains the pleasure and pain of taking their music to the next level while keeping their artistic integrity and performs an intimate concert in an art studio.”
Wow this video is just amazing. I think even people who aren’t fans of the band will find a new appreciation for the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes in this industry. I have infinite amounts of respect for these guys and their DIY attitude
