Following last fall’s SABLE, EP, Bon Iver has returned with news of a new album titled SABLE, fABLE. The collection of tracks will arrive on April 11 via Jagjaguwar, and the first single (aside from the SABLE, tracks, which will open the collection), “Everything Is Peaceful Love,” will arrive this Friday alongside a music video by John Wilson of HBO’s How to with John Wilson.
Produced by Justin Vernon and Jim-E Stack, SABLE, fABLE was mostly recorded at Vernon’s April Base in Wisconsin. According to a press release, “The conceptual genesis for the album occurred on 2.22.22, when Stack arrived at the Base with Danielle Haim. Snowed in for multiple days, Vernon and Haim’s voices intertwined on ‘If Only I Could Wait,’ a duet with crucial perspective, about not having the strength to be the best version of yourself outside the glow of new love.”
Vernon will speak more about SABLE, fABLE next Friday, February 21, in conversation with Krista Tippett to close the On Air Fest in Brooklyn. Pre-order SABLE, fABLE.
