For Emma, Forever Ago

Bon Iver

★★★★½4.9
discovered winter 2011

Made alone in a cabin over one winter, and it sounds exactly like that — isolated, raw, built from grief with company somehow. The lo-fi recording, the falsetto, the layered guitars: it's the sound of someone making art to survive something. Re: Stacks is one of the best closing tracks on any record.

why I return

Some records belong to specific winters. This one belongs to all of them.
