I like his music but he always sounds like he's singing under the duvet. Is it just me, or do others find his voice indistinct and out-of-focus?

is that a euphenism for weak, whiney and uninspiring? Maybe I'm a dinosaur but I do like male vocalists to sound like.... men? When they sound like women or primary school kids I struggle.

ha! yeah i agree with that. There are male singers that other men can appreciate, then there are those whiney James Blunty types that are like dog whistles that only women of a certain age can hear

that said Bon Iver has something

On the new album he does sing in a deeper voice but still with the "in the next room" production. I don't agree with the weak and whiney criticism 'cos I'm a Sufjan Stevens fan, but at least you can hear Sufjan.

I like the sound. I'm pretty certain it's deliberate.
