BON IVER - FOR EMMA, FOREVER AGO (CD)Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago On CD Bon Iver’s debut full-length For Emma, Forever Ago has been making major waves in critics circles based on the strength of an early artist-pressed advance cd and a couple awe-inspiring sets at CMJ in October 2007. The New York Times called it “irresistible” and Pitchfork stamped its early review of the album with a Recommended tag. Bon Iver (pronounced: bohn eevair; French for “good winter” and misspelled on purpose) is a greeting, a celebration and a sentiment. It is a new statement of an artist moving on and establishing the groundwork for a lasting career. For Emma, Forever Ago is the debut of this lineage of songs. As a whole, the record is entirely cohesive throughout and remains centered around a particular aesthetic, prompted by the time and place for which it was recorded. Justin Vernon, the primary force behind Bon Iver, seems to have tested his boundaries to the maximum, and in doing so has managed to break free from any pre-cursing or finished forms.
