Bon Iver's drummer steps into limelight

The new album from Bon Iver drummer S. Carey, “All We Grow,” is exactly what fans of the group might hope for.

When I first heard about the making of this album, I was a little skeptical. However, upon listening, I realized drummers can be mellow singers too.

Though Bon Iver and Carey’s voices have different ranges and tones, both of the musicians capture the essence of casual introspective. It’s the perfect album to use to unwind, as Carey’s voice sounds marvelously warm and clear.

“In the Dirt” is the standout track of the album and really holds its own against Bon Iver tracks such as “Skinny Love.” The other songs blend together well to form a cohesive album that is best listened to as a whole.

S. Carey’s “All We Grow” begins where Bon Iver left off and takes listeners to a new depth of self reflection through music.
