Bon Iver Performs "Flume" Next To A Toy Lamb, "Lump Sum" On A Chair, "For Emma, Forever Ago" In A Hallway

thumbnail icon: Bon Iver Performs "Flume" Next To A Toy Lamb, "Lump Sum" On A Chair, "For Emma, Forever Ago" In A Hallway

The focus of Bon Iver's stripped-down, relatively unadorned sound is Justin Vernon's inspired vocals, so it's no surprise he nails his Take Away. Much like it was no shock when he did a gorgeous "Creature Fear" in the backseat of a cab. Here, he performs "Flume" with toy piano, ukulele, wooden moose, and rocking lamb accompaniment. (The nod to his woodsy lifestyle is appreciated, though there are no wolves.) As the headline suggests, we also get "Lump Sum," but with slightly different instrumentation and "For Emma, Forever Ago," but with an old French guy.
