Mr. Bon Iver himself, Justin Vernon, has become one of the best song writers of recent memory. This decade may be his to own, unless Sufjan decides that enough is enough, and gives Justin a worthy opponent. Before he got the world obsessed with his amazing music with Bon Iver, he recorded a solo EP called Hazelton’s. Pretty Much Amazing pulled out “Hazelton” from the 2006 EP, wiped off the dust, and shared it with the world. Thank you for doing so Luis, I wasn’t aware of this EP until you posted about it!
“Hazelton” could pass for a Bon Iver track because of familiarity, as well as quality. It sounds like most of his work, meaning that it is excellent. Justin just has a natural ability to grace us with excellent songwriting. Not many people could compose beautiful melodies like Justin. Hazelton is a uplifting song, giving off feeling of a broken heart.
