A Quote by Shamir

My plan was to release a tape, move to Arkansas, live on a farm, and make music like Bon Iver.

I feel like you could listen to any Bon Iver song and it would make you cry. They're all so heart-wrenching.

Olly Alexander

That's what I like about Frank Ocean or Bon Iver - they try to capture a feeling in the most sincere way.

Todd Rundgren

I listened to Kanye West and also dove deep into bands like Radiohead, Portishead, and Bon Iver.

Sid Sriram

When I get compared to artists like Jose Gonzalez or Bon Iver, I can't help but think, "I've been doing this since they were in third grade."

Mark Kozelek

I remember trying so hard to get into Bon Iver. I'd lie in bed listening with my eyes screwed up, like, 'This is just depressing me.'

Mabel

I've heard that Bon Iver liked my cover of 'Skinny Love.'

Birdy

I've never spoken to Bon Iver, but I would love to. I'm a huge fan!

Birdy

I love Bon Iver. I would never put a negative connotation on that man's name!

Noah Centineo

I had this little Bon Iver phase a few years back; 'Flume' was one of my favourite songs.

Flume

I like the story about Bon Iver. They said he kept his GRAMMY in, like, the basement bathroom so he could just focus on getting another one. If I won a GRAMMY, I'd probably keep it at my mom's house on 47th Street.

Vic Mensa

I don't want the big flashing lights and red carpet, like, 'Here comes another Bon Iver album!' I just want it to be my bedroom-y thing. But that'll take a while to figure out.

I really have to be in a specific headspace to even begin to illuminate an idea that would create another Bon Iver record, and I'm just not there.

Justin Vernon

There are a lot of great recording artists, like Jack White and Jack Johnson, who stay confined inside a very small box, but I'm more like Bon Iver, who recorded an album with programmed drums, and the next record was totally organic. I get that.

Mat Kearney

There's a large opportunity for Bon Iver to be a special thing, even from a business standpoint - just trying to do cooler things. Every band sells t-shirts and plays certain auditoriums, but I'm sick of being like everyone else, because I'm not.

Justin Vernon

Honestly, before I settled on a name for the Bon Iver project in general, Chigliak was in the running for what I was going to name the band.
