How Long Do You Think Its Gonna Last?

Description

Bon Iver and Aaron Dessner (The National) return with the second album from their collaboration, featuring renowned guests: Taylor Swift, Fleet Foxes, This is the Kit…
Dessner has gathered an unlikely community of musicians who share his desire to create connections, to celebrate, and, above all, to process emotions and experiences through music. This generous spirit and desire to push music forward have never been felt more strongly than on "How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last?" by Big Red Machine, the second album of Dessner's ever-evolving project with Justin Vernon (Bon Iver). Musically, "How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last?" presents what Dessner perhaps calls the "clearest distillation" of his various writing and production styles. Songs like "Reese," the "Magnolia" sung by Dessner, and "Hutch" are built on the kind of tear-jerking piano melodies that millions of fans have come to love with The National, but they then evolve at their own pace towards unusual sonic destinations. "Aaron's greatest gift as a collaborator is his ability to evolve and experiment with the emotional sound that comes so naturally to him," Vernon says about these tracks.
