this has been one of my favorite albums since it has released. i was 11 when this came out and i hadn’t ever listened to bon iver. the closest i ever got was by listening to MBDTF, which bon iver was featured on. me and my brother, who is 6 years older than me and basically introduced me to most of the artists i still listen to today, went to a record store while out of town in atlanta, visiting family. he picked out a 12” vinyl which was a single called “22 / 10” which ... read more
