This is one of the best EP's i have ever heard. The tracks are well written and gently follows up the beautiful debut, For Emma Forever Ago. It starts with the quiet Blood Bank which is a offbeat love story and with its quiet guitar sets the mood for the EP. It is been followed up by Beach Baby which kind of has a hawaiian vibe to it in the middle of the song with th guitars that are being played. After this, one of the best tracks comes up, Babys. With a simple but beautiful piano chord, it builds up, and Justin Vernon starts to sing "Summer comes to multiply, to multiply // Summer comes to multiply, to multiply" which is just beautiful.

On this album, Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver isolated himself in a cabin in the woods of Wisconsin, sat down and wrote. This ended up with his debut, and on the last track on this EP, i interpret it as you hear why he got up in the cabin in the first place. "I'm up in the woods. I'm down on my mind. I'm building a still. To slow down the time." it's the same lyrics that are repeated over and over again to create this atmosphere that he basically just want to make a better way out of living his life.

I recommend everyone to go listen to this EP and also the debut. Beautiful songwriting.
