Hometown: Leksand, Sweden
All that time spent recording in a cabin in the woods must have made the voice behind Bon Iver ache for playing live, because that man really loves to tour. Really. A lot. Once again, the folkie is announcing new dates, both in the U.S. and overseas.
Following in the footsteps of Sub Pop, Merge and many others, NYC-based record label Mexican Summer has announced a rare music subscription service, which offers up ultra-rare, limited-edition vinyl for ever-demanding collectors and music fans alike. Subscribers to Mexican Summer's record club receive two exclusive albums a month from artists as varied as Sweden's psych-rockers Dungen to Chicago's resident metalheads Nachtystium (whose version of black metal is so black, light cannot escape its pull). And if you've moved on out of the stone age and listen to MP3s on your iZunePodplayer or whatever, you're also in luck. Each record comes with a link to a website where you can download a free digital copy of the vinyl you just received. Everybody wins!
