Description

A modern folk classic born from isolation, For Emma, Forever Ago is Justin Vernon’s intimate debut—recorded in a remote Wisconsin cabin and steeped in heartbreak, reflection, and sonic restraint. With sparse instrumentation and falsetto-laced vocals, the album blends acoustic minimalism with emotional depth, anchored by the breakout track Skinny Love.

This limited edition reissue from Jagjaguwar and Newbury Comics features black vinyl housed in a matte-finished jacket with a glossy insert containing lyrics and credits. Includes a digital download card. Lacquer cut by Ray Janos at Sterling Sound for enhanced warmth and clarity.
