Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon sure does have an eclectic taste in music, as comfortable rubbing shoulders with Kanye West and Rick Ross as he is The National and St. Vincent. Now, he’s teaming up with Minneapolis-based rapper Astronautalis for a new project.
The pair spent a weekend recording music together back in 2012, with the first taster of that session unveiled in the video below. The project is said to be called “Jason Feathers”, with an album thought to be coming via Totally Gross National Product.
