alien protocol says:When the long and painful breakup of his band was complete, Justin Vernon escaped to a remote cabin in the woods of Northwestern Wisconsin as the cold and bitter midwest winter settled in. He stayed there for 3 months and channeled all the personal hardship experienced over his previous 6 years of life, and in the process recorded one of the finest records released in all of 2007. For Emma, Forever Ago is a gem of a recording, featuring nine songs that were tracked in a simple and hardscrabble manner, using just a few old microphones and vintage recording equipment set up in Vernon's creaky cabin in Northwestern Wisconsin. Fans of Band of Horses and TV On the Radio will immediately gravitate towards the sound of Bon Iver.
