10. Justin Vernon of Bon Iver launches new record label Yesterday Justin Vernon launched his new record label called Chigliak Records, a spin-off the label that released his two albums, Jagjaguwar. Issuing some new recordings, Chigliak Records will focus on records that were not commercially or locally (in Wisconsin) released and records that were not put on Vinyl. The label's first record will be by a band called Amateur Love from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. When talking about the band, Vernon said,

"They put out a record and it probably sold like 500 copies – it was like this electro-pop thing with a Neil Young or Paul Westerberg-quality songwriter, I shit you not."
