Aside from Volumes, I haven’t come across a live set or performance that tops NPR Front Row 2016 for production and engineering quality of the audio.

I don’t know much about music production but it seems that on Volumes and NPR Front Row the audio feed from each mic/instrument/input has been recorded separately and remastered whereas the audio on most of the live sets I’ve heard on YouTube seem to just be the master take as you’d hear it if you were actually there, and are slightly muddier in their sound. The audio on the two I’ve mentioned have more clarity and punch.

Does anyone know of any live sets that match or better them?

I want to buy some merch and I keep finding us based sellers on eBay with postage almost double the price of the item. If you have anything XL or even a big l you want to sell in your guy!!!

PLEASE hit me up if you have a pair of these shorts sitting around in a size S or M you'd be willing to part with!

This is axiom

I'm not a lifelong bon iver fan, though I have always known and listened to his top songs. But within the past 2-3 years I've been listening to the full albums (amazing) and I'm so upset I didn't know about big red machine sooner!

Hey!! One of my favourite memories on this sub was the track by track discussion we did throughout the pandemic, FIVE years ago!

This covered everything from the debut album through the Season 5 singles, PDLIF and AUATC.

Maybe I haven’t looked hard enough, it may be there, but it would be nice to get a chance to deep dive into our thoughts on each track on SABLE, fABLE. Especially now after some time has passed!

There’ll be a lot more folk here who weren’t there for the first time round.

What I’m suggesting is perhaps doing another round of it all, or even just the most recent album. Seeing how things have evolved since then. I know for sure my experience with Bon Iver has shifted through the isolation from the pandemic and into who I am now, five years on.

I would be happy making the posts myself. Just wondering if anyone else is up for another go at this!

Love y’all!

Keep it restaurant! ❤️

happy 10 years of 22, AM 🖤

Hi all,

This is a question for those that listen to their own digital music files (whether on an MP3 player or steam from a server using Plexamp, etc.). I'm curious how you organize your metadata and files for the Bon Iver singles, B-sides, and unreleased work.

For example, I have the B sides from the self titled (Come Talk to Me, Bruised Orange, etc.) all from their respective singles (see attached pic). The same would happen if I added songs like Rosyln and Do You Need Power. I'm considering moving them into one "singles album" possibly with a fan made album cover (usually I use MusicBrainz for the metadata but of course I can edit anything myself).

So I ask you all, how do you organize your bootlegs and "unreleased" BI material? Just looking to get some ideas!

I've known Bon Iver's music for some time and enjoyed it, but that was it until recently. A girl I was in love with and who was also my best friend stood me up on our first proper date. I started listening to 'Flume' on the ride back home from the "date", and now 'For Emma, Forever Ago' is the only thing that brings me some sort of comfort and it has helped me a lot over the last few weeks.

Lapping lakes like leery loons

love this song, but it always leaves me with a lump in my throat and a lingering sense of anxiety.

sorry was thinking about it and had no one to share this thought with

So this is a bit daunting to post in this fantastic group of creative people but here goes:

In honor of the 10 year anniversary for 22, A Million I wanted to share some illustrations that I’ve made inspired by one of my favourite albums. Feel free to check it out!
If anyone else of you have made art inspired by Bon Iver I would love to see or hear it!

this has a better structure and better vocal melodies, obv the 22AM version is strong but not the strongest

made an edit of the original 2016 Eaux Claires tracklist poster using the new art from the 10yr CD packaging

most notable changes are 45 (bottom left) and the completely new square (bottom right). originally that was a mix of symbols that ended up elsewhere in the album art; the image here i think will be the one underneath the disc itself at the center of the packaging?

The album and the ep were fire, especially the song Woods. That song is just heavenly. My other favorites are Babys and The Wolves (Act I and II).
