Bon Iver to Release New Album

Justin Vernon will release his first Bon Iver album since 2008’s For Emma, Forever Ago on June 21 via Jagjaguwar. The album was recorded and mixed at April Base Studios, a former veterinarian’s clinic in Fall Creek, WI, converted into a recording studio by Vernon and his brother. Bon Iver regulars Sean Carey, Mike Noyce and Matt McCaughan contributed vocals, drums and production; Rob Moose (Antony and the Johnsons, The National) helped with arranging and strings; and Jim Schoenecker and Tom Wincek (who have previously collaborated with Vernon under the Volcano Choir moniker) provided processing. The album also features the pedal steel of Greg Leisz (Lucinda Williams, Bill Frisell) and a horn section including Colin Stetson (Tom Waits, Arcade Fire), Mike Lewis (Andrew Bird, Happy Apple) and C.J. Camerieri (Rufus Wainwright, Sufjan Stevens).
Since releasing his 2008 breakthrough, Veron has recorded with Kanye West, toured in the funk pop supergroup GAYNGS and performed in the experimental group Volcano Choir.
