New Bon Iver - "Brackett, WI" Another sweet folk song from all-star Red Hot charity comp Dark Was The Night. Bon Iver's contribution is named after an "unincorporated area" in Justin Vernon's home county of Eau Claire. I just saved you a trip to Wikipedia. Stream "Brackett, WI" today only at MySpace. UPDATE: Now streaming here.

Pretty sure you mean Grizzly Bear not Bon Iver seeing as there is no Bon Iver song on that Mysapce page.

Well, when they put this up yesterday, it was Bon Iver. That myspace page changes the song every day, because there is a new song for charity every day.

It's a charity album. Show some restraint.

Mike, the song is listen-only. The post is to promote the compilation. Thanks for visiting.

Eau Claire is more importantly the town that Bon Iver grew up in (although you're right, it is Eau Claire county as well).

I found out yesterday that I have been pronouncing 'Bon Iver' completely wrong. Like "bon (as in bon bon) eye-vur" instead of the true fancy way.
