Ruby Isle are an electronica infused band which decided to do covers of all the songs which end up #1 on the music site ELBO.WS and i must say it tossed up alot of these songs and breathed new life into them.

Bon Iver came up with one of the best albums 0f 08′ by far and nobody really expected such genius.
We cried, smothered and refused to let go of his record, declaring it a treasure for the times.

Bon Iver (pronounced bohn-eevair) is the stage name of indie-folk performer
Justin Vernon and he is an absolute obsession here at !tashed.

He released his album For emma, forever ago independently in 2007 and got picked up by the awesome indie label jajaguwar not long after, re-releasing it early this year.

If you can remember how iron & wine sounded to you the first time you heard them,
keep that in mind and add an insanely peculiar but incomparably perfect falsetto voice in its own right.

Thats Bon Iver for you.

With such vocals and such a myriad of images which comes to mind everytime his music gets played, he looks to be one of those greats in time to come.

Great expectations..but listen to him before you judge what i say.
Listen to skinny love just once and you will get so so hooked.
