Black Mountain with Bon Iver

Favorite psych-and-prog-spiritual pioneers Black Mountain come to Portland in support of "In The Future," their second full-length album that resonates with the same epic ring, beloved deep rock touchstones and genuine folk fragility that made their self-titled debut full-length an instant classic. Their debut album garnered an impressive amount of critical acclaim, including Pitchfork's prestigious "Best New Music" tag. Bon Iver (pronounced: bohn eevair; French for "good winter" is a greeting, a celebration and a sentiment, and spelled wrong on purpose) consist of thick layers draped in lush choral walls, with rarely more than an ancient acoustic guitar or the occasional bass drum providing structure. The majority of their record is sung in falsetto, which painfully expresses the meanings behind its overt, yet strangely entangled words.
