American band Bon Iver was the first recipients of the award for their eponymous album. Since 2013, a set of nominees is presented annually alongside the winner. Rock band Alabama Shakes are the only artists who have received the award more than once with two wins, for Boys & Girls in 2013 and for Sound & Color in 2016.
