Bon Iver reveals first new album in six years
Bon Iver, the musical endeavor led by Justin Vernon, has announced the release of their new album, titled SABLE, fABLE, scheduled for April 11. This marks the group’s first full-length album in six years. Preceding the album, the Sable EP was launched last autumn, setting the stage for the upcoming collection with three initial tracks. In a statement, the band expressed, “If SABLE was the prologue, then fABLE is the book. But together, SABLE, fABLE is the album, and for that reason, it is no fairy tale.” The album’s tracklist includes the upcoming single “Everything Is Peaceful Love,” expected to drop this Friday in celebration of Valentine’s Day, accompanied by a music video directed by John Wilson.
In the creation of SABLE, fABLE, Bon Iver continues to embrace collaboration, a trend seen in recent successful partnerships with artists like Taylor Swift, Travis Scott, the National, and Charli XCX. The new album will feature guest appearances from Danielle Haim, Dijon, and Flock of Dimes, as well as production work by Jim-E Stack, adding depth and diversity to the project.
The anticipation for the album’s release is heightened by the announcement of the single drop on Valentine’s Day, amplifying the excitement among fans. Bon Iver’s evolution and willingness to explore new sounds and styles through collaborative efforts have been a significant factor in their enduring popularity and critical acclaim in the music industry. With the fusion of various talents and influences on SABLE, fABLE, the album promises a rich and dynamic listening experience for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
As the music industry eagerly awaits the unveiling of SABLE, fABLE, Bon Iver’s return to the spotlight after a six-year hiatus is met with enthusiasm and curiosity. The band’s ability to reinvent their sound while staying true to their roots has been a driving force behind their lasting impact on the alternative music scene. With the album’s release on the horizon and the momentum building with each announcement, Bon Iver’s SABLE, fABLE is poised to captivate audiences and solidify the band’s status as trailblazers in the realm of indie music.
