Bon Iver
Released 2007Folk & Singer-Songwriter
Start here
Recorded alone in a remote winter cabin, its falsetto and layered harmonies feel both raw and otherworldly. The origin myth fits the music. A quietly influential debut. The 2007 record that made the case for Bon Iver.
On vinyl: 2000s vinyl is increasingly rare second-hand — a repress is usually the easiest route.
