For Emma, Forever Ago
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. Released in 2007, it's an early landmark for Bon Iver.
On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
