| | |  | Keyword Search: Bon Iver | Home » For Emma, Forever Ago | | | | | | | Product Promotions: | | | | | Description: | | Justin Vernon began recording as 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. Pronounced 'bohn eevair', it is French for "good winter" which is spelled wrong deliberately. This debut CD is centered around Justin Vernon, who is the primary force behind Bon Iver, as he moved to a remote cabin in the woods of Northwestern Wisconsin at the onset of winter, alone for three months. From this solitary time emerged a bold, uninhibited new musical focus of all his personal trouble, lack of perspective, heartache, longing, love, loss, and guilt that had been stockpiled over the past six years into songs. The NY Times called this record "irresistible", and it was given a "Recommended" rating by Pitchfork. 9 tracks. Jagjaguwar Records. 2008. | | | Product Details: | | | Audio CD Release Date:

I'm not much of a writer so here goes, I love this CD. I've had it on my ipod for about six months now and listen to it nearly every day while at work. It is sublime, haunting and oddly comforting.
