Last week James Blake teased us with the idea of him collaborating with Bon Iver with something called Fall Creek Boys Choir. Originally I thought that it would be the title of their pairing, but it’s actually the title of their first song together. BBC Radio 1 premiered it an hour ago, and it’s available to listen now (of course).
Blake calls Justin Vernon of Bon Iver one of his biggest influences, and they decided to collaborate after meeting at this years SXSW Festival. They created the track this spring via e-mails. Vernon does the singing, and Blake adds his production touches.
“Fall Creek Boys Choir” will be available to purchase on iTunes next week. But for now, stream it below. It’s just as amazing as you’d hope.
