I remember a while ago reading about how he recorded for emma, forever ago. he used a cheap audio interface and a free version of pro tools. he also used a 120 dollar ribbon mic for recording a lot of it. he also used an e bow and a chacon. really not a lot of gear, especially not expensive gear. he was really sick and his girlfriend broke up with him and kicked him out and his band kicked him out. he packed up all his stuff and left north carolina and went and stayed at his families hunting cabin in wisconsin in the winter and stayed there by himself where he wrote and recorded the album. one of his friends who he showed it to mixed it and put it up on tumblr without him knowing and the rest is history. inspiring story.
these are incredible. love how you synthesize all these elements and are still able to make something that isn't just derivative but sounds like you! 10/10
This is an excellent behind-the-scenes look at how to be a great cover band (with derivatives). And it sounds great. You made some beautiful music, so thanks! Subscribed.
Been wanting to mix Bon Iver inspiration into my music for the longest time and this really helps to nail down exactly how and why Justin's music sounds the way it does. Great video!
Had a song stuck in my head all day but just the “on the mantelpiece” line and couldn’t for the life of me remember where it was from…and then it clicked. It’s such a great tune and testament to you guys nailing the brief.
yep! in the album stems, there’s a note with the patches that were used - i think the 2 r ‘super e.p.’ & ‘analogpad2.’ bruce hornsby also loooooooved the m1 stock piano sounds; u can hear them everywhere on the way it is & other songs on the record
Damn, the high pitched samples in mantelpiece sounded like James blake too! Kinda funny since james got to work on iMi in vernon's last album i,i. Anyways, I was craving for some bon iver songs and this video scratched that itch! I know im late but this shit is AMAZING. Thanks for putting so much effort into it! subbed.
You’re an epic triple threat. Great singer musician and engineer, oh yea producer and arranger. So quintuple threat? Seriously that’s for the info and the inspo.
wow, That was so freaking cool and you all delivered. I wonder if yall know of Hayden Calnin. Aussie artist, but would be so cool to see the breakdown of his orchestra-sounding music. You got my sub!
80s soft rock ballad?... well, Mr Pirate, I'll have you know Hornsby played accordion with the Grateful Dead. Though, you know, your "Time is up" rendition was extraordinary in how it evoked his vibe. Seriously, nice job with that
Wow that song at the end is too good!
BenLevin!!

What is a chacon? Also, he used an SM57 for the album :)

This is fantastic! Justice Bull did slay on sax. Thanks for this incredible piece of work!
I legit grinned through this entire video. Perfection. I bet Justin would be flattered.
I love the room with the saxophone!!!
You have the perfect vibe to make these videos and you do it super well!! That was a fun watch.
the way the video just ends with the song is so beautiful!! letting it speak for itself as a conclusion:')
Been wanting to mix Bon Iver inspiration into my music for the longest time and this really helps to nail down exactly how and why Justin's music sounds the way it does. Great video!
Excellent video. The original song is just beautiful, loved it. Great work, everyone.
Thanks so much!!
For the song at the end I felt compelled to grab my headphones and so glad I did
Beautiful
Absolutly gorgeous y’all
Jeez you made me cry
Such a refreshing thing to hear today. Thank you so much for your work on this and for sharing it with everyone!

Love finding my past RA in the wild on TH-cam! Great video, all the best Jesstice Cow!
i'm a simple man. i see there's a new Justice Cow video, and i click. excellent as always!
What a great song 😮
There's an interview (I think on Kimmel) where he says he used the M1 for the beth/rest sound but they're both super close - great vid
yep! in the album stems, there’s a note with the patches that were used - i think the 2 r ‘super e.p.’ & ‘analogpad2.’ bruce hornsby also loooooooved the m1 stock piano sounds; u can hear them everywhere on the way it is & other songs on the record
it's 'pad piano,' not 'super e.p.,' apologies -- it's the same sound, just treated differently
Great video. Killer song at the end. Love Bon Iver. Y'all did a great job showing how you can take what someone does and make it your own.
Underrated channel af

A lot of the sound of 22,a million is also very much inspired by Vernon’s prior collaborations with Blake , and also just them hanging out lol.
this is so great; Thank you
I’d love a whole justice cow album of bon iver…
Very nice and instructive video, thank you Justice Cow 🙂
Love it

fwiw, the "Beth/Rest" main keyboard is a Korg M-1, not the Yamaha DX-7.
Yeahhh nailed It haha
Justice Cow for World Emperor.

Hi! I loved de voice sound in the part of beth rest. how do I get that sound? I would love to know ;) thank u
I would love it if Justin Vernon came across and then did a cover. That would be the most insane thing
