"8 (circle)" sits on 22, A Million, the third Bon Iver album, released in September 2016 and recorded at Justin Vernon's April Base studio in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The record marked a sharp turn for the band, threading electronic textures through its indie folk, and much of it wrestles with how sudden popularity changed Vernon's place in the world.
Vernon produced this one with BJ Burton and wrote it with Burton and Ryan Olson. Two drummers, S. Carey and Matt McCaughan, share the kit, saxophones come from Colin Stetson and Michael Lewis, Andrew Fitzpatrick fills in other instruments, and Zach Hanson mixed it all down.
