Product Description

Bon Iver's debut full-length For Emma, Forever Ago has been making major waves in critics circles based onthe strength of an early artist-pressed advance cd and a couple awe-inspiring sets at CMJ in October 2007.The New York Times called it ''irresistible'' and Pitchfork stamped its early review of the album with aRecommended 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, acelebration and a sentiment. It is a new statement of an artist moving on and establishing the groundworkfor a lasting career. For Emma, Forever Ago is the debut of this lineage of songs. As a whole, the record isentirely cohesive throughout and remains centered around a particular aesthetic, prompted by the time andplace for which it was recorded. Justin Vernon, the primary force behind Bon Iver, seems to have tested hisboundaries to the maximum, and in doing so has managed to break free from any pre-cursing or finishedforms.It wasn't planned. The goal was to hibernate. Vernon moved to a remote cabin in the woods of NorthwesternWisconsin at the onset of winter. He lived there alone for three months, filling his days with wood splittingand other chores around the land. This solitary time slowly began feeding a bold, uninhibited new musicalfocus. The days slowly evolved into nights filled with twelve-hour recording blocks, breaking only for tripson the tractor into the pines to saw and haul firewood, or for frozen sunrises high up a deer stand. All of hispersonal trouble, lack of perspective, heartache, longing, love, loss and guilt that had been stock piled overthe course of the past six years, was suddenly purged into the form of song.TRACKLISTING:FlumeLump SumSkinny LoveThe Wolves (Act I and II)BlindsidedCreature FearTeamFor Emmare: stacks
