Bon Iver

It just doesn't make sense that Justin Vernon and Bon Iver are selling out two nights at this 9000-seater auditorium, but here we are.

That’s it: whatever the sounds trying to rebuff easy attraction, underneath it Vernon is making broad spectrum, recognisably popular, pop and rock. There are mechanised glitches and squelches over the top of slashes and throbs. There is some kind of treatment on almost all the vocals, and Vernon’s principal vocal state, treated or otherwise, is the not universally loved falsetto.
