The band began as friends from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, evolving from Justin Vernon’s early band Mount Vernon and takes its name from Justin Vernon’s two middle names. The members first met at the H.O.R.D.E. Festival in 1997, bonded at a Wisconsin jazz camp, and played together in various combinations before finally playing as DeYarmond Edison in 2002. The band’s style is a blend of folk and Americana sounds with more modern atmospheric and electronic elements. DeYarmond Edison recorded two albums while in Eau Claire, a self-titled album and Silent Signs.
After a period of success in Eau Claire’s music scene the band decided to move to Raleigh, North Carolina to begin a musical career in a new location. The band experienced some success in Raleigh, but eventually broke up because of tensions caused by different musical directions and philosophies and personal reasons.
Following the dissolution of DeYarmond Edison, Vernon eventually returned to Wisconsin to live in his father’s cabin, and over the course of 3 months of isolation, he produced what became the Bon Iver album For Emma, Forever Ago. The remaining members DeYarmond Edison formed Megafaun, eventually releasing their own album Bury the Square.
Former member Christopher Porterfield spent the following five years composing material for his solo project, Field Report, which was released in September of 2012.
