Bon Iver, the acclaimed music project fronted by Justin Vernon, continues to make waves in the music industry with exciting announcements and collaborations. Just last month, Vernon published the lyrics to his unheard composition “Day One,” in a poetic form, for The New Yorker. Fans were blown away by this first look at what lies ahead!
Though we still can’t listen in on the song “Day One” just yet, the track has created quite a stir among Bon Iver fans. Vernon’s lyrical prowess and storytelling ability remain central to Bon Iver’s appeal. Vernon further proves his versatile touch by working with some heavy-hitting artists such as Taylor Swift and Charli XCX. He’s not letting up on our continued solo amazement.
In a recent interview, Vernon articulated his enthusiasm about seeing this music featured on jumbotrons during WNBA games. He praised how this occasion was indicative of Bon Iver’s growing impact on popular culture. He touched on the peculiar feelings of his neighbors regarding his recording studio, April Base, located in Fall Creek, Wisconsin. The studio is home to an unprecedented collaborative creative environment that inspires groundbreaking, revolutionary work. Residents have ambivalent feelings about it, usually feeling its arrival something of an elephant in the room.
With fans chomping at the bit for a peek of their forthcoming “SABLE, fABLE” due out April 11th. Jagjaguwar will drop the album, and adventurous listeners will be greeted by exhilarating lead Offing “Everything Is Peaceful Love,” “Walk Home,” and “If I Could Only Wait.” So look forward to some truly exceptional new music!
