Earlier on in 2015 we did an article on a collaboration between the two singers, with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver and Mercury Prize winner James Blake working together on a release of Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘The Sound of Silence’. See that article here.
However as stated in that article, Justin Vernon and James Blake are frequent collaborators, sharing similar musical tastes and being close friends. But most significantly, Vernon and Blake worked together to release the single ‘Fall Creek Boys Choir’ which enjoyed great success and features Vernon’s trademark vocal harmonies and vocal distortion using auto tune.
Enjoy the single below:
Further collaboration is expected as Eaux Claires (the festival founded by Vernon and The National’s Aaron Dessner) took to twitter to announce the release of a taping of a select set of songs, released only to those who either attended the inaugural Eaux Claires or those who are set to attend Eaux Claires part deux later this year.
