It’s been a long time coming, but Wisconsin soul-folkie Bon Iver’s debut LP, For Emma, Forever Ago, will be released on the Jagjaguwar label February 19th. A number of you may have seen the album pop up on numerous best of ‘07 lists, and for good reason, as the album saw a very limited self-release (500 self-made copies) last year. The Jagjaguwar edition is the same running order, etc., but with new artwork.

I was wrong. Of course, there was the original My Old Kentucky Blog post that prompted Rob to write about the going-ons in Wisconsin. Since then (presumably because of the CD release) they have been written about all over the place - Brooklyn Vegan, Minneapolis Fucking Rocks, Stereogum, An Aquarium Drunkard, and most recently, Berkeley Place.
