Bon Iver is some bro with a beard who makes his albums in the woods. He sounds like Bruce Hornsby and makes soft rock music 4 softy mcsoftsoft indie fans. Anyways, he is now an overground sensation who sold tons of albums 2 ppl who <3 indie music. 104k albums. Still haven't really listened but it seemed kind of boring, so I guess there are 104k ppl who are in2 'being bored'.

Has 'music made in rural areas/'the woods' gone mnstrm?

Right behind her at No. 2 this week is folk rock act Bon Iver, who sees its self-titled second full-length album take a bow with 104,000. This marks both its highest-charting set and best sales week yet. Fronted by singer/songwriter Justin Vernon, the Bon Iver's previous high-water mark came when its "Blood Bank" EP debuted and peaked at No. 16 with 23,000 in 2009.

Are u surprised by how much he sold?
Was this only bc of Kanye West telling AfroAmeri markets 2 listen 2 Bon Iver?
R u going 2 move 2 the woods 2 write a mnstrm album?
Where can u go 2 write an indie album if 'the woods' are mainstream?
Have we escaped from the sprawl?
