The New York Times called it “irresistible” and Pitchfork stamped its early review of the album with a Recommended tag. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor those of you hiding away in a cabin of your own, it’s time that you hear the story, and more importantly, the music. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBon Iver (pronounced: bohn eevair; French for “good winter” and spelt wrong on purpose) is a greeting, a celebration and a sentiment. It is a new statement of an artist moving on and establishing the groundwork for a lasting career. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor Emma, Forever Ago is the debut of this lineage of songs. As a whole, the record is entirely cohesive and remains centred on a particular aesthetic, shaped by the time and place in which it was recorded. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJustin Vernon, the primary force behind Bon Iver, seems to have tested his boundaries to the maximum, and in doing so has managed to break free from any pre-cursing or finished forms. It wasn’t planned. The goal was to hibernate. Vernon moved to a remote cabin in the woods of Northwestern Wisconsin at the onset of winter. He lived there alone for three months, filling his days with wood splitting and other chores around the land. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis solitary time slowly began feeding a bold, uninhibited new musical focus. The days slowly evolved into nights filled with twelve-hour recording blocks, breaking only for trips on the tractor into the pines to saw and haul firewood, or for frozen sunrises high up a deer stand. All of his personal trouble, lack of perspective, heartache, longing, love, loss and guilt that had been stockpiled over the course of the past six years, was suddenly purged into the form of song.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlume\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLump Sum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSkinny Love\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Wolves (Act I and II)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlindsided\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreature Fear\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTeam\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor Emma\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRe: Stacks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca name=\"OLE_LINK1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca name=\"OLE_LINK2\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cb\u003eVersion: Black ReVINYL Edition LP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eReleased: 5\u003csup\u003eth \u003c\/sup\u003eJune 2026\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Number: JAG115LP-C3 0617308040104\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition: New Sealed\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecretly Group has joined with Music Declares Emergency and the Music Climate Pact to mark World Environment Day 2026 by releasing several special-edition releases on 100% reclaimed vinyl. Read more about how The Music Climate Pact is working to make vinyl records more sustainable \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca data-outlook-id=\"62a17b5e-0bf7-4545-b0c8-69643666956c\" data-linkindex=\"0\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" title=\"https:\/\/www.musicclimatepact.com\/vinyl?mc_cid=259b5fa5b0\u0026amp;mc_eid=UNIQID\" href=\"https:\/\/cargo-independent.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=9ed1b5da39fac0e4af51f43c0\u0026amp;id=711e362b00\u0026amp;e=f31d73d85f\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehere\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
