22, a Million
by Bon Iver
The 3112th greatest album of all time
22, a Million is Bon Iver's 2016 album that shifts the project from its earlier acoustic-based sound toward a more experimental, electronic-tinged approach. The record blends indie folk songwriting with chopped samples, synth textures, glitchy production and prominent vocal processing, yielding fragmented song structures and cryptic, collage-like lyrics. Its sound emphasizes sparse, atmospheric arrangements and unconventional sonic treatments, marking a notable expansion of Bon Iver's palette into folktronica and electronic pop territory.
