Album Review

Part of the beauty of Bon Iver’s debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago, was the intimate, backwoods feel of the recording and the simplicity of Justin Vernon's soaring, open wound of a voice with only minimal musical backing to distract from its impact. After a couple years in which his life was turned upside down thanks to the success of For Emma, Vernon’s second album is quite different. Where For Emma was stripped down and intimate, Bon Iver is packed with guest musicians, horn sections, strings, and extra vocalists. Within the expanded arrangements, there are still moments of tender beauty: the relatively restrained "Wash.," which pits Vernon’s aching vocal orchestra against a jagged, repeating piano line (and only minimal strings and pedal steel); the first two-thirds of "Holocene," and the simple and affecting "Michicant."

Customer Reviews

he just keeps getting more amazing

unreal album. thought provoking, subtle, deep, and just plain beautiful. devoured every note, he just keeps getting more amazing.

Absolute perfection

Every once in a while, music discoverers fortunate enough to stumble upon an album of such musical perfection that they are left speechless. This is one of those albums. The haunting vocals in combination with peaceful streams of pleasant guitar tunes, snare drum beats, and the odd use of unique percussion, create a masterpiece of sound perfect for late night strolls and long car rides. Bon Iver possess musical genius that only the world's best musicians could attain. This album is elegance, purity and soul at it's best, providing warmth and bliss to every listener. Absolutely stunning.

Amazingly freakishly good

This is an outstanding album. A triumph; amazing. Beautiful and typically atmospheric, its everything you'd expect from Bon Iver. Given there was so much expectation following the success of the first album this is a ridiculously fine follow up.

Justin Vernon began recording under the nom de band Bon Iver following the breakup of DeYarmond Edison, an indie folk group similar in tone and manner to Iron & Wine, Little Wings, and — to a certain extent — Bonnie "Prince" Billy. Vernon's solo project took DeYarmond Edison's introspective, folky sound and embellished it with squinchy, quirky orchestral touches that nodded to Sparklehorse and the drifty optimism of the Flaming Lips. Vernon moved back to Wisconsin the winter following...
