Label: Jagjaguwar
Release date: 30.09.2016
22, A Million is part love letter, part final resting place of two decades of searching for self- understanding like a religion. And the inner-resolution of maybe never finding that understanding. The album’s 10 poly-fi recordings are a collection of sacred moments, love’s torment and salvation, contexts of intense memories, signs that you can pin meaning onto or disregard as coincidence. If Bon Iver, 'Bon Iver' built a habitat rooted in physical spaces, then '22, A Million' is the letting go of that attachment to a place.
The two tracks that have been released in anticipation of this release do nothing to quell the huge excitement over this momentous return... Bon Iver are back and sounding "poly-fi", sounding enticing, sounding new!
