New Justin, Arcade Fire, Etc.!!!


"Dark Was The Night" is a 2-disc collection of indie rock stars donating new material for a charity CD release raising funds for HIV/AIDS awareness and research.  I had only 4 downloads left on my recent Emusic account and picked new Arcade Fire, Bon Iver, Justin Vernon with a guest, and Broken Social Scene's Kevin Drew. The complete list is here.  I like that Justin is releasing solo material and the idea that Bon Iver is turning into a band. The Bon Iver track sounds like a 5th soung from the recent E.P. while the Justin song is more solo. The Arcade Fire is solid, but not great and the Kevin Drew song is disappointing.  Enjoy the 4 tracks. I plan to add more downloads from the album once my Emusic account rests.

Thanks for the upload. Glad to hear there is none of that auto-tune vocal crap on Justin's tracks. By the way, this file is compressed twice. So, you'll need the free Stuffit Expander to open it.

Sorry I compressed it twice. I'm computer retarded some of the time.
