Blood Bank, the four-song Bon Iver EP that Jagjaguwar released on January 20, 2009, was Justin Vernon's first word after For Emma, Forever Ago, the award-winning debut he'd put out himself in 2007 before it got a proper re-release in 2008. That album had come out of three months alone in a western Wisconsin cabin; three of the tracks here were cut fresh for the EP, with Vernon producing.
The Eau Claire songwriter started Bon Iver as a solo project, and the name comes from bon hiver, French for good winter, which tells you most of what you need to know: this is still cold-weather music, the voice thin and ghostly, the songs hushed and huddled close to the stove. "Beach Baby" is the track that made the countdowns, and the self-titled Bon Iver album came next.
