“Hinnom, TX” is where we see the full potential of an electric, complex Bon Iver. Electric guitar, heavy drums, banjo and strings. The self-titled album is 10 songs, and much heavier instrumentally than anything he put out prior. It’s a song that exemplifies how vulnerable Vernon can be without a lot of lyrics - he’s manufactured serenity with his chords, nearly putting you into the snowy car on the EP's cover art.īon Iver’s third release came in 2011.

Vernon starts off acapella but auto-tuned, “I’m up in the woods / I’m down on my mind / I’m building a still / To slow down the time.” The song repeats that same phrase, each time adding a new auto-tuned layer. The closing track, “Woods,” is the first track by Bon Iver that clearly heavily experiments with electronics.

This four-track record is immediately more somber. You can hear him putting his guitar back. The album starts in the surreal stratosphere that only the song “Flume” can create and ends with the similarly acoustic “Re: Stacks.” The final 40 seconds are quiet. To Vernon, we are the void that he’s shouting into. The instrumentals sound far away – like they were recorded in a church (reverb and all) then immediately released. “For Emma, Forever Ago” is so private, like a peek into lead singer Justin Vernon’s most personal thoughts. To track the evolution of Bon Iver’s sound is an impossible feat. You hear Birdy’s cover of “Skinny Love” and think to yourself, “What else sounds like that?” Or maybe it’s 2011, and you’re just starting to develop your sense of music. You put on Bon Iver’s “For Emma, Forever Ago. You’re in the back of your parents’ car, headphones plugged into your iPod Touch – you’re trying hard to zone out. It’s 2008: The airwaves are full of Katy Perry, Leona Lewis and Coldplay.
