Bon Iver & Dijon at Mesa Amphitheatre

I,I came out in August 2019 with Pitchfork awarding it the "Best New Music" accolade for 2019, and editor Matthew Strauss calling it the band's "most honest and forthright music ever", and noted Vernon's vocal performance, saying that he "sings with more texture and conviction than ever before.” The following year it was nominated for Best Recording Package, Album of the Year and Best Alternative Music Album at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards in 2020, as well as Record of the Year for the album's lead single "Hey, Ma".

Dijon had an excellent 2019 and 2020, releasing a successful EP in both years. Now the time has finally come for a proper debut album, Absolutely, is due to drop on November 5th.
