Bon Iver
"Skinny Love" creator
Bon Iver is the musical project of American singer-songwriter Justin Vernon, known for intimate falsetto vocals, layered production, and introspective lyrics.
The name comes from the French *bon hiver* (good winter), reflecting the isolated Wisconsin cabin where Vernon recorded the acclaimed debut album *For Emma, Forever Ago* (2007).
I've been listening to a lot of Bon Iver lately.
