Bon Iver, Bon Iver, the self-titled second album by Wisconsin artist Justin Vernon, was recorded primarily at the Sonic Ranch studio in Tornillo, Texas in 2010 and 2011. The album was produced by Vernon himself alongside collaborators including Ariel Rechtshaid and Thomas Fidetzis, with mixing by Serban Ghenea. Notable technical choices included extensive use of Auto-Tune and heavy vocal processing to create the album's distinctive aesthetic, combined with layered arrangements featuring strings, woodwinds, and electronic elements. The production represented a significant sonic shift from Vernon's debut For Emma, Forever Ago, moving toward a more refined, chamber-pop influenced sound that would influence indie music production throughout the 2010s. The album was released in June 2011 and became critically acclaimed, earning Grammy nominations and establishing Bon Iver as a major force in alternative music.
