When For Emma, Forever Ago came out in 2007, it was the sort of record that urged insane amounts of repeated listening. That album sustained its woebegone ode to heartbreak over nine beautiful tracks that pooled into something singular and inseparable. Now, almost four years since For Emma’s release, it remains as cohesive and emotionally resonant as ever. In that time, Justin Vernon has been busy collaborating with Kanye West, finding his inner George Michael with Gayngs, and rocking out with Volcano Choir. While all of his music has been varying degrees of exceptional, “Calgary” marks the welcome return of Vernon’s core pursuit—the first new Bon Iver track since the
Blood Bank EP
—and finds him far removed from the winter cabin that served as Bon Iver’s genesis.
Bon Iver—Bon Iver, Bon Iver
"Calgary"
