"Calgary" is from Bon Iver, Bon Iver, the band's second album, released in June 2011, a 10-song record that was heard as a new direction for the band. Justin Vernon wrote it with Matt McCaughan and produced it himself, engineering alongside Nate Vernon and mixing with Brian Joseph.
The album around it did remarkable business for a record this private-sounding: it debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, topped the charts in Norway and Denmark, landed on best-of-the-year lists and won the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album at the 2012 ceremony.
