Bon Iver is the moniker of American indie folk band primarily spearheaded by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Justin Vernon. The band's origins can be traced back to 2006 when Vernon isolated himself in a remote cabin in Wisconsin to recover from personal hardships and a bout with mononucleosis. This period of seclusion resulted in the creation of Bon Iver's debut album, "For Emma, Forever Ago,” which was released in 2007 to critical acclaim, heralded for its introspective lyricism and sparse, emotive soundscapes.

Building on the foundation of intimate, folk-infused melodies, Bon Iver has evolved to incorporate a broader array of sounds and collaborative efforts. Albums like "Bon Iver" (2011), "22, A Million" (2016), and "i,i" (2019) have seen the project delve into experimental territory, blending elements of electronic, baroque pop, and contemporary R&B. The band's innovative approach and hauntingly beautiful compositions have solidified Bon Iver as a critical darling within the indie music scene, earning them multiple Grammy Awards and a dedicated global fanbase. Their recent works, such as the single "AUATC" and collaborations on tracks like "Boys Of Faith," continue to push the boundaries of their genre, ensuring that Bon Iver remains at the forefront of musical innovation and heartfelt storytelling.
