Album Notes & Community Reviews
Radically dismantling the delicate indie-folk that brought him massive fame, Justin Vernon steers his project into deeply fractured, glitch-heavy electronica. The album heavily utilizes a custom-built instrument known as the Messina, allowing him to manipulate and harmonize his vocals in real-time. The resulting record is incredibly abstract, cryptic, and overwhelmingly beautiful, serving as a brilliant meditation on spiritual anxiety.
