DeYarmond Edison: Epoch (5LP/4CD/book) BOX

‘Epoch’ is the definitive collection of DeYarmond Edison, the band preceding Bon Iver and Megafaun. The collection includes five LPs, four CDs, a 55,000 word biography/book, rare and unseen photos, and additional digital content. In the summer of 2005, four friends left Wisconsin for North Carolina with a singular goal: to outrun their folk-rock doldrums. During a year of intense focus, study, and vulnerability, they did exactly that, reaching toward the ecstatic edge of New Weird America by trying out a little of everything--grindcore and gospel, free jazz and phase pieces, bluegrass and blues - and packing it into DeYarmond Edison. Maybe you know the rest? One member went home to begin what would become Bon Iver, while three stayed put to start Megafaun. ‘Epoch’ is the story of DeYarmond Edison: Brad Cook, Phil Cook, Justin Vernon, and Joe Westerlund, told as never before.
