In a press conference held to debut 22, A Million, the new Bon Iver album, frontman Justin Vernon revealed the origins of the album's new sound. According to Vernon in a report from Pitchfork, the sound from the album originated in a drum loop created on a Roland drum machine."I was feeling a lot of anxiety," Vernon said. "The beat got me up and out of my seat and made me want to break it down. It was finished right when we made it and we had to sit on it for three years."Vernon describes the sound as, "a little radical" and a reflection of his desire to abandon the "sad nature" of previous records. "I think cracking things, making things that are bombastic and exciting and also new, and mashing things together, and explosiveness and shouting more, I think that was the zone," Vernon said.22, A Million is out September 30 on Jagjaguwar.
