22, A Million is a radical and enigmatic departure from the indie-folk intimacy of Justin Vernon's earlier work. Released in 2016, the album embraces digital disintegration, cryptic numerology, and fragmented emotion. It marks a turning point: a breakup not just with personal relationships, but with conventional songwriting itself.

Abstract and glitch-heavy, 22, A Million filters Vernon’s falsetto through layers of distortion, pitch manipulation, and sampling. Tracks like “715 - CR∑∑KS” and “33 ‘GOD’” blur the line between synthetic and sacred, while the haunting “29 #Strafford APTS” provides a glimpse of the familiar Bon Iver warmth. With strange symbols, disjointed titles, and a sonic palette shaped by collaboration and experimentation, this is an album more concerned with feeling than clarity — spiritual, vulnerable, and defiantly modern.
