The Guardian had a good article the other day, which goes a long way for me to explaining what Bon Iver is about:

It reminded me of complaining to a young punk years ago that I didn't get Siouxsie and the Banshees. He suggested I try and treat her voice as another instrument, rather than listen to the lyrics. My big musical hero was Bob Dylan, whose lyrics are everything, so that advice meant a big turnaround for me. I followed it, however, and it worked to a large degree. Anyway the first track, which Dog posted, is now growing on me. My mistake was probably listening whilst looking at the visuals on my monitor screen - listening on headphones in the dark is a completely different experience.
