Justin Vernon has remained graciously humble throughout his transformation from solitary, lo-fi troubadour recording deep in the Wisconsin woods to an indie-folk powerhouse who's worked alongside James Blake and Kanye West. That haunting falsetto carried the stark, melancholic beauty of his 2007 debut, and it remains his hallmark—even when it's given to the occasional Auto-Tune treatment. Backed by a full band, Vernon continues to experiment—with lush orchestral arrangements and glitchy electronic loops and samples—but the brutal yet delicate rawness of his first recordings lingers.
