Bon Iver
Bon Iver is a Grammy Award winning indie folk band from Eau Claire,
Wisconsin, United States, and one of Justin Vernon’s current and most
notable music projects to date. The band also consists of Mike Noyce,
Sean Carey and Matt MacCaughan.
The name ‘Bon Iver’ (pronounced “bon ee-VAIR”) is a play on the French
phrase ‘bon hiver’ meaning ‘good winter’. Vernon independently released
Bon Iver’s debut album For Emma, Forever Ago in 2007, most of which was
recorded during a four-month stay in a remote cabin in Wisconsin.
While in high school and college Vernon founded the indie-rock bands
Mount Vernon and DeYarmond Edison in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where he
still resides.
According to the For Emma Songfacts, after the break-up of De Yarmond
Edison, Vernon retreated to his father’s log cabin, out in the woods of
north-east Wisconsin to hibernate for three snowy months. There he
collected his thoughts and formulated them into a suite of songs, For
Emma, Forever Ago . The album was originally self-released in late 2007
in a run of 500 copies and sold out instantly.
The album garnered critical acclaim, and was picked up by the
indie-rock label Jagjaguwar, which gave the album a proper release on
February 19th, 2008. The album was released in the UK and Europe by
iconic indie 4AD on May 12, 2008.
When released in the UK, For Emma, Forever Ago received 5/5 and “Album
of the Month” reviews in both MOJO and Uncut magazines. It is currently
the third highest rated album of 2008 on review-aggregator site
Metacritic, with accolades from publications including The Village
Voice, The Hartford Courant and The A.V. Club.
