Bon Iver is the self-titled second full-length album from American indie-folk band Bon Iver, released on June 20, 2011 (UK).[1][2][3]
History
The band announced the release through various media and from the official Jagjaguwar and 4AD websites, on April 20, 2011. On May 17, the entire album, for a short time, was accidentally made available for sale on iTunes, resulting in customers buying and leaking the album over torrents and file sharing services.[4] The album entered the UK charts at number 4 on the first week of release.[5]
