Bon Iver

Has anyone actually jumped into this thread yet? 😢
Back in June, Bon Iver dropped his self-titled album
After that first record, For Emma, Forever Ago, expectations were sky-high. Honestly, I was worried he might run into that classic "sophomore slump" where nothing lives up to the debut, but I’m really glad I was wrong.
The sound is a huge departure from the first one—which was recorded in a remote cabin and felt very stripped-back with just some guitars and light instrumentation. This new project pulls in a massive palette of different sounds and instruments.
Even though it feels somewhat "cold," it fits this time of year perfectly. I’m totally on board with Pitchfork giving it a 9.5.
I hope everyone else who checked it out enjoyed it as much as I did. Personally, I've already got it sitting in my top three albums of the year.
