New Favorite Artist Feature #2


Keaton Henson. 



I literally have no words. This guy has no Wikipedia page and there is very little information about him on the internets, he reminds me quite a bit of Bon Iver –not only musically, but also their "discomfort of strangers". He explained his stage fright in an interview "I've always struggled with live music, both as a spectator and performer...I used to enjoy going to live shows, but felt a strange jealousy. No part of me wanted to share the music with which I had such a profound relationship with a room full of (often drunk and chatty) strangers."
You don’t have to know much about either of their (personal) lives to know they are good musicians. And he is pure perfection. Also, I find him strangely attractive.

I think it's his elusiveness.


Mr Henson has the most amazing (emotional) control of his voice, AND he's only 24!! Just give these a listen and you’ll know what I’m talking about:  Lying to you & You don't know how Lucky you are & F.R.I.E.N.D.S  & Not that you'd even Notice [unfortunately there's no video for these, but at least you can listen to it] & Flesh & Bone & Small Hands [this is one of the most beautiful videos I've seen in a very long time.]

Bon Iver Business

I really enjoy Bon Iver - he is one of the very few artists allowed in my study playlist, but for some reason I've never had the need to Google his face and see what he looks like. I mean, with a voice like that, this man obviously had to be a looker of some sort, right? Oh no.

It is not that this poor man looks like a troll, it's just that he looks old ... and bold ... and not taken care of... Why would you go to the Grammy's looking like you just had to walk all the way from Canada and you escaped a bear attack with seconds?

You dont have to be pretencious or comercial, just because youre doing it for the music. Come on, Bon Íver (pronounced as if you're French who just had some unsattisfying American coffee.) have some pride in yourself and your talent!

Bon Iver's accepting his Grammy -Here you can see, not as sexy, huh?
Someone made a funny- Who the eff is Bon Iver

Also some of my favorite Bon Iver I Can't Make you Love me [AMAZING TALENT] Come Talk to Me and Love More.

*Disclaimer: I am not one to judge physical appearence On second thought. Bon Iver could be a Troll and I would still include him in my study playlist.
