Today, Justin Vernon turns the page and begins Bon Iver’s next chapter: the epilogue. Out April 11th on Jagjaguwar, SABLE, fABLE is the project’s first album in six years, and with it comes a love story set to lush, radiant pop music. While the record begins with the vulnerable unburdening of last fall’s three-song SABLE,EP, the triptych seamlessly gives way to a new nine-song saga in which one person becomes two, darkness turns to salmon-colored beauty, and sadness transforms to unbridled joy. Where SABLE, is a sparse and solitary reckoning with a pain that long-defined the past, fABLE looks towards a vibrant future filled with light, purpose and possibility: a partner, new memories, perhaps a family.
