Bon iver –

22, a million (10th anniversary edition) (frosted silver edition) (vinyl) (pre-order)

22, A Million is a record of dualities. First released in 2016, Bon Iver’s third album found Justin Vernon reckoning with pain and love, suffering and redemption, omens and happenstance. Such ambiguity is at the core of how Justin composes words: there are always two ways to see something. Within a fragmented language of symbols and numbers lies a sonic distillation of years of turbulence and the process of recovery.

Across ten songs, 22, A Million shattered expectations of what a Bon Iver record could be. Through different groups of friends—close, passing, new and old—he began assembling proto-melodies, vague textures and specific moods from hundreds of hours of recorded improvisations. Songs like “22 (OVER S∞∞N),” “33 ‘GOD’,” “715 - CRΣΣKS” and “8 (circle)” traded familiar structures for fractured electronics, pitch-shifted vocals and dense layers of sound. What initially felt like a radical departure has since become one of the most influential and enduring works in Bon Iver’s catalogue.

2026 marks the tenth anniversary of 22, A Million. To celebrate, Bon Iver and Jagjaguwar will release a deluxe anniversary edition pressed on Frosted Silver vinyl, featuring new alternative artwork with a soft-touch finish and spot UV gloss detailing. The package includes the original 28-page lyric booklet, reproduced here in three silver inks, alongside an additional 12-page full-colour inlay booklet documenting the album’s creative process through previously unseen artwork and an essay by Eric Timothy Carlson.

The Brooklyn-based artist’s visual work has shaped the Bon Iver world since 22, A Million, and his visual language has become inseparable from the album itself. A custom 12-panel ‘inverted cross’ CD edition will also be available.
