Are you having a good winter? Justin Vernon (who named his musical project "good winter" in French) is...with the surprise success of his new album For Emma, Forever Ago Here's my interview with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver which was posted today at Popmatters. Isolation Songs: An Interview with Bon Iver's Justin VernonBon Iver's Justin Vernon holed up in the north Wisconsin woods to try to get his life and his music back on track ... and, in the process, almost by accident, made one of this year's most hauntingly beautiful folk-rock albums, For Emma, Forever Ago.by Jennifer KellyJustin Vernon wasn't planning to make an album when he hauled his worldly goods from North Carolina to his father's hunting cabin in northern Wisconsin. No, he was in retreat from a failed move to North Carolina, the break-up of his ten-year-old band and the sense that his life had somehow jumped the tracks. He had a guitar with him, as always. There was some recording equipment in the trunk of his car. But the idea of making an album, let alone an album as radiantly, spectrally beautiful as Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago, never entered his mind. "I was just sort of escaping a bit and thinking about what I was going to do," he said in a recent phone interview. "I went north to my dad's hunting cabin, just to sort of 'be' for a couple of months."
