Bon Iver: Bon Iver, Bon Iver version on CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in United Kingdom in publishing company 4AD in cooperation with Jagjaguwar on 17. June 2011.
In 2008, Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver came straight from the snowy woods of Wisconsin, where he recorded his critically acclaimed debut album "For Emma, Forever Ago" in complete solitude. This musical gem became a real hit, earning Bon Iver not only a gold award in England, but also the admiration of artists such as Kanye West and Peter Gabriel. With the former, he recorded tracks for his album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, while Gabriel contributed to Bon Iver's Flume. After his success, Vernon immediately jumped into new projects such as Volcano Choir.
The song "Bon Iver" was written in Vernon's hometown of Eau Claire and is about the cycles of life and the people involved in the seasons. The songs feature place names like "Perth" and "Calagary", some real, others metaphorical. "Bon Iver" has become more of a band album than a solo album and sounds less glamorous than its predecessor. But that doesn't detract from the beauty of its songs.
Review ,,Oh, you beautiful escape to the front! The 2011 relaunch of the Justin Vernon brand has been a success, the next phase can begin. A songwriter in the folk and R'n'B format." (musikexpress, July 2011) , "That's why Bon lver is now the band's project (starring Justin Vernon), where a blend of Beach Boys hints, psychedelia, Tears For Fears, electronic pop, church choir and a voice deliberately alienated from Hall was created as an invitation to a spiritual trip." (Stereo, August 2011) "As quiet, pithy and idiosyncratic as this music is, the second album from 30-year-old Justin Vernon, aka Bon Iver, of Wisconsin, is already a huge deal. That's because the first, 2008's ,,For Emma, Forever Ago," stirred the inner dulcimer strings of an impossibly large audience." (Rolling Stone, July 2011) "An impressive sonic spectacle that transcends verse and chorus." (Stereoplay, August 2011)
Album spans genres Rock, Indie Rock and Folk Rock.
