Bon Iver, Bon Iver by Bon Iver
Bon Iver, Bon Iver is an album by Bon Iver, released in 2011. 5 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 42 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Holocene”, on 20 lists with a best position of #13.
Bon Iver, Bon Iver, the second album from Justin Vernon's Bon Iver, came out on June 17, 2011, and it walks a long way from the lonely cabin-folk of For Emma, Forever Ago. Vernon produced it himself, and across 10 songs the hushed acoustic confessions bloom into something wider and stranger: baroque arrangements, post-rock swells, soft-rock synths, and Vernon's voice drifting through it all like fog over a lake.
"Holocene" is the heart of it, a slow, luminous meditation that picked up Grammy nominations for Song of the Year and Record of the Year, "Perth" marches in on martial drums, "Calgary" glides and shimmers, and "Beth/Rest" wears an unabashed soft-rock sheen. Critics loved it, and plenty named it among the best of 2011. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, topped the charts in Norway and Denmark, and won the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album.
