The indie folk/rock band Bon Iver releases this Friday, September 30 its 3rd studio album: 22, A Million.
Bon Iver, led by composer and singer Justin Vernon, started in 2007. Justin Vernon then comes out of a difficult breakup and a year that is just as difficult and decides to spend a few months in a cabin in the woods in Wisconsin.
His previous band, DeYarmond Edison has just disbanded and Justin takes advantage of these three months alone in nature to compose the tracks of For Emma, Forever Ago, Bon Iver's first album. This album was not supposed to see the light of day but thanks to the support of these relatives, Justin Vernon decided to produce and release it independently. mi drop for pc
Acclaimed by critics, Bon Iver becomes a flagship band of this new indie scene and participates in many featuring as for Monster by Kanye West.
In 2011, Bon Iver, released his (almost) eponymous album, Bon Iver, Bon Iver. This album becomes richer instrumentally speaking, and the band performs on stage with a saxophone, two drums, a violin .. The album was once again critically acclaimed and the band's fan community became larger.
Bon Iver then toured until 2012 and announced, in their last date in Dublin, that the band was taking a break for a while.
