By Aaron Hartley–
Justin Vernon, the creator and front man of the indie folk juggernaut Bon Iver, never intended to be famous. He captured attention with the self-released love anthem “For Emma, Forever Ago” in 2007.
In 2011, Vernon (and the band he gathered to be called Bon Iver) drew international acclaim with “Bon Iver, Bon Iver,” which marked a more ethereal and spacey indie folk sound over the minimalism of the last record.
The album was internationally revered, selling over a hundred thousand in its first week.
