“It’s been shaping more than anything I’ve done,” he says, “emotionally and [in terms of] reflection and reacting. I don’t think I’ve ever sung like this before.

“It was challenging, but it revealed itself to me, and it was because of these guys. It’s here to stay.”

Vernon has recently wound down Bon Iver for the time being, suggesting that he may not even work under the name in the future.
