Justin Vernon (of Bon Iver) x The Roots – Perth
by Richard Brooks / Live / February 9, 2012 / 2523 Views

Ever since Kanye West discovered their talent, the demand for Bon Iver has been on a steady increase. After turning down the Grammys, the group managed to meet their request to perform on Saturday Night Live, in which afterwards, frontman Justin Vernon even made a special stop by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to perform the group's single "Perth" alongside ?uestlove and The Roots. The combination of musicians lead to an eight-minute long auto-tuned track which you can check out up above.

    Kanye did not discover Justin and Bon Iver's talent, he used their talent..

    Saying Kanye west discovered Bon Iver's talent is about the most naive thing that I've heard spoken all year. Kanye jumped on the band wagon. I like Kanye and all but he definitely did not discover them. Justin and Bon Iver were already well into making their full length when Kanye approached them.

    There's nothing false about his statement. Kanye had a discovery just like you did. It might not have been the initial one, but his use of their ish def brought them attention

    Hypetrak fire this Richard Brooks character!!! He definitely doesnt kno what he's talking about.

    I think the steady increase in their demand has to also be put down to the fact that they're great musicians.

    What Kanye did for Bon Iver is expose him to a much larger audience. It's not that difficult to comprehend, guys.

  • booooyaahhh
