Hammer & Tongs deserve Michel Gondry's fandom and recognition. Great video output, specially the mind-bending video for REM's 'Imitation of Life'. And Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy and Son of Rambow are underrated gems.
they hinted at it almost two years ago, during the Dark Was The Night live thingy, and Clark confirmed the collaboration during promotion for Strange Mercy. A couple of months ago they said they had finished recording the whole album.

It's clearly "Bon Iver, Bon Iver". I find it funny that every single mayor publication (Stereogum, P4K, Spin, even NY Times) misread the press release and refer to it as 'self-titled'. I mean, it's an easy mistake to make, but why hasn't anyone noticed it?
I'm also glad that the more comprehensive review returned. This one is particular good.
But...
The cool thing about Premature Evaluations are when they're done in albums that have actually leaked, IMHO. Not on albums you have received a promo copy of.
Either way, nice review.
It said it was their debut on the first line. They corrected it and changed it to breakthrough.
Sites should cross out corrections, not delete them. So that helpful commenters don't sound like crazy people later.
