From Daniel Lopatin:

There's a local soft rock station in Boston called Magic 106.7 so it was a play on that. One and Zero is of course computer binary code... tricks are about manipulation... point never is about infinity...so those are the elements. But here's where it gets annoying... when I spelled it out, it looked like this mystical Japanese hi fi corporation name, and I started pronouncing it "On-eeyo-tricks." That particular iteration stuck with me, but its somewhat contentious because people say it all kinds of different ways and in a democracy, the people should have the final say, right? So I want to go on the record now and say that any way you want to pronounce it is totally legit. I recommend "OPN" because its easy and has an NIN vibe to it.

This actually might be a helpful thread for proper band pronunciation. I can't tell you how long I was mispronouncing Bon Iver before someone corrected me.

[icedKeg]

is it "ay-vett brothers" or "ah-vett brothers"

[zajaa]

ah you must've been one of those "Bawn Eye-ver" people

[GuyInTucson]

Yes, I was one of THOSE people...

[Stickjohn]

I have trouble with bands like !!! and thenewno2.

[zajaa]

!!! = "chick chick chick"

[misterpickles]

if you guys ever come across a Danish person, ask them to pronounce "Trentemøller" properly for you, its pretty freaky

[aguadulce]

is it "ay-vett brothers" or "ah-vett brothers"

its " AY-vett Brothers"

[algunz]

Apparently, I am too. How do you pronounce it?

[fikus222]

It's pronounced like the French phrase for 'good winter' - 'bon hiver', i.e. [bon ee- VAIR]

When I don't know how to pronounce an artist/band's name, I usually YouTube a video of them during an interview or a performance. When they say, "Hello, we are ____." Or "Welcome _____ with their song."

This is a good idea. There are youtube clips out there simply for pronunciation purposes.

Is it the Jools Holland way?

So, how does an English speaking American like myself pronounce it?

Trentemoller's pronunciation isn't that bad, taking the time to spell it properly is

that's actually incorrect, this is the correct pronunciation.

[TheaterStep]

Bon Iver is pronounced "bum lover"?

Who woulda thunk it.
