Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Bon Iver
Bon Iver is the self-titled second full-length album from American indie-folk band Bon Iver, released on June 20, 2011 (UK). Bon Iver's second album was rumored to be "Letters for Marvin" but was later confirmed to be "Bon Iver". The album is composed of 10 songs and takes a new musical direction. “I brought in a lot of people to change my voice — not my singing voice, but my role as the author of this band, this project,” says Vernon, who hired well-known players like bass saxophonist Colin Stetson and pedal-steel guitarist Greg Leisz. “I built the record myself, but I allowed those people to come in and change the scene.” The second album is described as an "ambitious musical departure" from the first. Bon Iver entered at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 104,000 copies in its first week in the United States. The album received positive reviews from most music critics upon its release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 86, based on 39 reviews, which indicates "universal acclaim."
