Photo 23 Mar 35 notes quarterwhipped: Pitchfork: New Bon Iver album on it’s way in June. Folksy Bon Iver mastermind Justin Vernon has certainly kept busy as of late, but it’s been more than a minute since we’ve heard any word on the follow-up to Bon Iver’s 2009 EP Blood Bank. Now, a Rolling Stone article sheds a bit of light on Bon Iver’s forthcoming LP. The as-yet-untitled ten-song record is set for release some time in June. According to Rolling Stone, experimental saxophonist Colin Stetson and pedal-steel guitarist Greg Leisz (Wilco, Joni Mitchell) were tapped to contribute to the record. Tracks include “Perth”, which Vernon refers to as “a Civil War-sounding heavy metal song” and Rolling Stone reports that it features “a marching drum beat, a children’s choir and wailing guitars,” “Minnesota Wisconsin”, and the closer “Beth/Rest”, which Vernon claims is “definitely the part where you pick up your joint and re-light it.” Okay! That’s certainly news to bring some joy to your day. New Bon Iver? Yes please.
