Bon Iver is a band founded in 2007 by American indie folk singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. Vernon independently released Bon Iver's debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago in July 2007, the majority of which was recorded while spending three months in a remote cabin in Northwestern Wisconsin. The name, Bon Iver, is a play on the French phrase "bon hiver", meaning good winter.
After self-releasing their cathartic masterpiece For Emma, Forever Ago in 2007, Bon Iver emerged as one of that year’s most surprising breakout acts. For Vernon, this increase in popularity concluded this past year with his prominent guest appearance on Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Besides a few related projects, however, Bon Iver have remained rather inactive as group. But after releasing a short mysterious trailer last week that hinted at a possible new record, Bon Iver have announced today details regarding their forthcoming sophomore self-titled release, available now.
