Attention Eau Claire music nerds! Here's a great clip of Megafaun with Swedish folk singers Jaw Lesson and the Tallest Man on Earth covering Bon Iver's "Creature Fear." It's an especially poignant cover given the fact that the members of Megafaun were formerly in a band with Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon (DeYarmond Edison), and that their band's breakup was part of the reason Vernon ventured to his storied cabin in the woods to hash out what would eventually become For Emma, Forever Ago.
Not to mention, of course, that this is an incredibly beautiful and faithful cover of the song.
Oh yeah: have a bit of patience, there will be a full video of this show in HD quality!
