Album art for the soon-to-be-released Blood Bank EP by Bon Iver

There are few things we love more here at Silent Sound Waves than (legally) free music. One of those things that we do love even more is legally free music from artists that we're head over heals in love with, and today we are pleased to bring news of such a deal. Listen to and download the title track from Bon Iver's upcoming EP inside!

Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago was one of the most critically acclaimed albums of 2008, and it even grabbed the runner-up spot in our own Top 20 Albums of 2008 list. The new EP titled Blood Bank EP is scheduled to be released on January 20th, but already now you can, courtesy of the artist himself and his label Jagjaguwar, listen to the title track for free:

The song itself follows in the same direction as the melodious and downright beautiful album that For Emma is, and those who fell for it will certainly appreciate this teaser from the new EP. If you haven't heard Bon Iver's music yet, this song will serve as a perfect introduction to what he sounds like, so be sure to give it a listen.
