Bon Iver has shared a new single, Everything Is Peaceful Love.
The bright, joyful track unfurls across rich and layered, synth-led production and features filmmaker John Wilson, who also stars in and directs the accompanying video that premieres on YouTube at 3pm GMT today. It serves as the lead single from Justin Vernon's recently announced fifth Bon Iver album, 'SABLE, fABLE', due out on April 11 via Jagjaguwar. He said:
"Everything Is Peaceful Love gives me what I want for this album, all in one video. The idea that happiness and joy are the highest form and the true buoyancy of survival, and even taking yourself less seriously could heal the world."
"I knew what kind of record I wanted to make the day we made Everything Is Peaceful Love," Vernon continued. "I always knew that would be the feeling I wanted to share first. I wanted the video to just be people smiling uncontainably. Luckily, Eric Timothy Carlson suggested getting in touch with Wilson. Simply the most poignant and hilarious program in all of Television. We were extremely fortunate that John liked the idea. He went out, shot a bunch of fun stuff, and edited it all to the song."
Co-produced by Vernon and Jim-E Stack, the follow-up to 2019's 'i,i' will open with the three songs from Bon Iver's 2024 'SABLE' EP: Things Behind Things Behind Things, S P E Y S I D E and Awards Season. It also includes contributions from Dijon and Flock of Dimes on the track Day One, and Danielle Haim on If Only I Could Wait.
