The band’s driving force and founder Justin Vernon, was praised for his raw, stripped-back sound which had no trace of pretension or artificiality. At a time when the music industry was seeing a rise in the production of contrived indie-folk, it was inspiring to see Vernon produce and release an album independently with little more than an old set of drums and a beat-up Silvertone guitar at his disposal.
