Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in a hunting cabin in Wisconsin during a solitary winter, this album is the definition of intimate folk. Justin Vernon's falsetto layered over strummed acoustic guitars captures raw heartbreak and isolation. It became a viral sensation and a touchstone for indie folk.
