For Emma, Forever Ago is the debut studio album by American indie folk band Bon Iver. It was first self-released in July 2007, and later saw wide release on the Jagjaguwar label in February 2008. The album is principally the work of singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. While living in Raleigh, North Carolina, Vernon fell ill with mononucleosis and a liver infection, and grew frustrated with his songwriting and life. He left Raleigh and drove to his father's remote hunting cabin an hour northwest of his hometown, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, hoping to be alone.

The album was recorded at the cabin between late 2006 to early 2007. Vernon abandoned his old songwriting methods and instead focused on wordless melodies that he later set to words, which he felt evoked a more subconscious meaning... - Wikipedia

What happens when the man behind For Emma trades cabin fever for clarity? #JustinVernon stopped by to talk about SABLE, fABLE, #BonIver’s newest album that’s got more #RickieLeeJones vibes than vocal layering acrobatics. “Less mystery, more humanity,” he says — which might explain why it sounds like a breakup with the abstract. He also talks #TaylorSwift, #DanielleHaim, and that time Bon Iver made The Outfield’s “Your Love” sound like a ghost story in falsetto.
