Bon Iver and Tallest Man on Earth are astounding. It is a good year for this kind of stuff. Any more suggestions? I love acoustic guitar if it's used well in an interesting way.

Bon Iver does have a band live I think, but I mean his stuff comes off perfectly with just a guitar live.

I also already know about guys like Will Oldham, Phosphorescent, Bonnie Prince Billy etc.

Alain Bashung
Bleu pétrole

is another interesting album. It's all in French though.

I think officially it was 2008.

2008 CD Jagjaguwar 115
2008 LP Jagjaguwar 115
2008 CD 4AD/Beggars Group 911642

as per allmusic.com

I think a download was 2007.

Either way, 2008, 2007, still close. Some great acoustic stuff.

concerning Bon Iver, from wikipedia:

It was self-released in 2007 and received wider release on the Jagjaguwar label in February 2008 (and on the 4AD label in the UK in May 2008).

Key word being "released." It was released in 2007. Solace has been talking about this thing since last fall. It's a 2007 album.

Anyway, you might like the new album by Samamidon, EH. It's a bit different than these, but it's got the same kind of feel. I was put off at first by the dude's voice (he sounds far more typically "indie" than Tallest Man or Bon Iver), but the songs are there.

I find it kind of sad that "indie" has become a slightly accurate way to describe certain singers. You know, the whiney, loose, flamboyant, basically shit vocal style. It has really caught on.

Yeah, it's a really annoying epidemic.
