Bon Iver. Bon Iver. Bon Iver (/boʊn iːˈvɛər/ bone-ee-VARE[1]) is an American indie folk band founded in 2007 by singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. The band also includes Michael Noyce, Sean Carey, Colin Stetson and Matthew McCaughan amongst others. Vernon released Bon Iver's debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago independently in July 2007.

Bon Iver won the 2012 Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album for their album Bon Iver, Bon Iver.[2][3][4] The name Bon Iver is derived from the French phrase bon hiver (French pronunciation: ​[bɔn‿ivɛːʁ]), meaning "good winter",[1] taken from a greeting on Northern Exposure.[5] History[edit] After the breakup of the band DeYarmond Edison, a relationship, and a bout with mononucleosis,[6] Vernon left Raleigh, North Carolina, and moved back to Wisconsin to spend the oncoming winter months at his father's cabin in Medford, Wisconsin.

The biographical details behind the creation of an album shouldn't matter when it comes to a listener's enjoyment, but For Emma, Forever Ago, Justin Vernon's debut as Bon Iver, exudes such a strong sense of loneliness and remoteness that you might infer some tragedy behind it. So, to skirt the rumor mill, here are the particulars, as much or as little as they might apply: In 2005, Vernon's former band DeYarmond Edison moved from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, to North Carolina. As the band developed and matured in its new home, the members' artistic interests diverged and eventually the group disbanded. While his bandmates formed Megafaun, Vernon-- who had worked with the Rosebuds and Ticonderoga-- returned to Wisconsin, where he sequestered himself in a remote cabin for four snowy months.

During that time, he wrote and recorded most of the songs that would eventually become For Emma, Forever Ago. For Emma isn't a wholly ascetic project, though. Bon Iver - Skinny Love - Music Video.
