After a long silence since his acclaimed i,i in 2019, Bon Iver is back with a new album that promises to immerse us in a dreamlike and introspective atmosphere. ‘SABLE, fABLE’, which will see the light next April 11 under the Jagjaguwar label, marks a new chapter in the sonic evolution of Justin Vernon, accompanied by a lineup of stellar collaborators such as Jim-E Stack, Dijon, Flock of Dimes and Danielle Haim.
A fusion of emotions and experimental sounds
This work does not come without precedent. Last year, Bon Iver surprised with the EP ‘SABLE,’ a preview of what was to come, which included tracks such as “Things Behind Things Behind Things”, “S P E Y S I D E” and “Awards Season”. Now, these cuts are integrated into a 12-track album that promises to take the artist’s approach to new horizons.
The album was co-produced by Vernon and Jim-E Stack, consolidating a sonic vision that balances the warmth of folk with the electronic experimentation and lyrical depth that characterizes Bon Iver.
A Revealing Preview: ‘Everything Is Peaceful Love’
To calm the anticipation, this Friday Bon Iver will release the single “Everything Is Peaceful Love,” accompanied by a video directed by John Wilson. This new track promises to offer an intimate glimpse into the album’s direction, and fans are already speculating about the emotional tone and narrative Vernon has constructed on this new stage.
Collaborations that enhance the musical journey
Throughout his career, Bon Iver has been able to surround himself with talents that elevate his art, and ‘SABLE, fABLE’ is no exception. The presence of Dijon, Flock of Dimes and Danielle Haim suggests a dynamic and nuanced album. In particular, the track “Day One,” which will feature Dijon and Flock of Dimes, is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated pieces.
