Bon Iver 22, A Million

4 stars out of 5 -- "[H]e flexes a mastery of processed vocals, samples, loops, beats, synths and noise, along with more familiar trappings. The results place him alongside pop's top futurists."
"22, A MILLION pushes forward as only an artist could. It's a weirder record, foregrounded with decayed, pulsating electronics, warped vocals, and instruments invented by Vernon and his friends."
"There are spells of free jazz that would make Ornette Coleman appear the model of rules and restraint, wheezy, old-timey nightclub blues and even a straightforward, singalong lullaby. It's a confounding, fascinating record."
Ranked #16 in Mojo's 'The 50 Best Albums Of 2016' -- "Determinedly current in certain respects...but with enough moments of outstanding beauty to be timeless too."
"This is a febrile folktronica album which confounds and astounds in equal measure, melting your heart one minute and agitating your eardrums the next, but always baffling and beautiful."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[T]his particular amalgamation is so twitchy and idiosyncratic it feels truly singular. Its searching is bottomless."
Clash (Magazine) - "[A]n absolute diamond of a record, at once fragrantly beautifully and also hopelessly complex, easy to disregard and yet thoroughly hypnotic."
