Bon Iver is the stage name of Wisconsin singer-songwriter Justin Vernon, formerly of Mount Vernon and DeYarmond Edison fame. The band further consists of Michael Noyce, Sean Carey, and Matthew McCaughan.
Vernon independently released Bon Iver's debut album, 'For Emma, Forever Ago' in July 2007, the majority of which was recorded while spending three months in a remote cabin in Northwestern Wisconsin.
In March earlier this year, Justin Vernon told Rolling Stone magazine that a follow-up of 'For Emma, Forever Ago' would be released in June. The as yet untitled album will be composed of 10 songs and take a new musical direction.
“I brought in a lot of people to change my voice — not my singing voice, but my role as the author of this band, this project,” says Vernon, who hired well-known players like bass saxophonist Colin Stetson and pedal-steel guitarist Greg Leisz. “I built the record myself, but I allowed those people to come in and change the scene.”
Despite there being a track listing that was unreleased, Vernon did say that each song on the new album represents a place. The song 'Perth' was described as a “Civil War-sounding heavy metal song," the song 'Minnesota Wisconsin' was described as featuring "finger-picked guitars, double bass drums and distorted bass saxophone," and the closing song "Beth/Rest" will be "horn heavy."
Bon Iver will be promoting the new album at the following UK shows:
Wed October 19th - Manchester O2 Apollo
Sat October 22nd - Edinburgh Usher Hall
Mon October 24th - London HMV Hammersmith Apollo
Wed November 9th - Birmingham O2 Academy
