Yesterday, The Grammy announce their nominations for the 54th Grammy Awards, which will be held on February 12. Eau Claire's Bon Iver has been nominated for 4 of those Grammys.
Bon Iver has been nominated for Record of The Year and Song of the Year for "Holocene." Bon Iver is also nominated for best new artist. Okay, I don't get that category. How does someone get nominated for best new artist, when they have released stuff in the past? The forth nomination is for Best Alternative Album, which is up against Radiohead, Death Cab For Cutie, My Morning Jacket, and Foster The People.
Do you think Bon Iver will win some of those Grammys? If so, which one?
