Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago - ReVINYL Edition

Bon Iver’s debut full-length, For Emma, Forever Ago, made major waves in critics’ circles based on the strength of an early artist-pressed advance CD and a couple of awe-inspiring sets at CMJ back in October 2007.

The New York Times called it “irresistible” and Pitchfork stamped its early review of the album with a Recommended tag. For those of you hiding away in a cabin of your own, it’s time that you hear the story, and more importantly, the music.

Bon Iver (pronounced: bohn eevair; French for “good winter” and spelled wrong on purpose) is a greeting, a celebration and a sentiment. It is a new statement of an artist moving on and establishing the groundwork for a lasting career. For Emma, Forever Ago is the debut of this lineage of songs. As a whole, the record is entirely cohesive throughout and remains centered around a particular aesthetic, prompted by the time and place for which it was recorded.
