Bon Iver - 22, A Million (10Th Anniversary Edi

Facts 22, A Million is a record of dualities. First released in 2016, Bon
Iver's third album found Justin Vernon reckoning with pain and
love, suffering and redemption, omens and happenstance. Such
ambiguity is the core of how Justin composes words: there are
always two ways to see something. Inside a fragmented language
of symbols and numbers is a sonic distillation of past years of
turbulence and how to recover.


Across ten songs, 22, A Million shattered expectations of what a
Bon Iver record could be. Through different groups of
friends—close, passing, new, old—he began to assemble
proto-melodies, vague textures and specific moods from
hundreds of hours of recorded improvisations. Songs like “22
(OVER S??N)," “33 ‘GOD’," “715 - CR??KS" and “8 (circle)" traded
familiar structures for fractured electronics, pitch-shifted vocals
and dense layers of sound. What initially felt like a radical
departure has since become one of the most influential and
enduring works in Bon Iver’s catalog.
2026 marks the ten-year anniversary of 22, A Million. To celebrate,
Bon Iver and Jagjaguwar will release a deluxe anniversary edition
pressed on Frosted Silver vinyl, featuring new alternative artwork
with soft-touch finish and spot UV gloss detailing. The package
will include the original 28-page lyric booklet, represented here in
3x silver inks, with an additional 12-page full-color inlay booklet
documenting the album’s creative process through previously
unseen artwork and an essay penned by Eric Timothy Carlson. The
Brooklyn-based artist’s visual work has shaped the Bon Iver world
since 22, A Million and his visual language has become
inseparable from the album itself. A custom 12-panel ‘inverted
cross’ CD edition will also be available
