Bon Iver have announced a brand new album, ’22, A Million’.
Clearly not one to be trusted when it comes to counting at hide-and-seek, the full-length was announced as Justin Vernon debuted a set of entirely new music at his Eaux Claires Music Festival last night (12th August).
The follow-up to 2011’s self titled release, the full-length is set to be released on September 30th through Jagjaguwar. It comprises of 10 tracks, none of which you’re likely to be typing out rather than cut and pasting. Two of them were revealed alongside the announcement – ’22 (OVER S∞∞N) [Bob Moose Extended Cab Version]’ and ’10 d E A T h b R E a s T ⚄ ⚄” (Extended Version)’.
Yeah, thanks mate.
A press release explains: “22, A Million is part love letter, part final resting place of two decades of searching for self-understanding like a religion. And the inner-resolution of maybe never finding that understanding. The album’s 10 poly-fi recordings are a collection of sacred moments, love’s torment and salvation, contexts of intense memories, signs that you can pin meaning onto or disregard as coincidence. If Bon Iver, Bon Iver built a habitat rooted in physical spaces, then 22, A Million is the letting go of that attachment to a place.”
There’s also set to be a run of tour dates, including a two day non-for-profit event in Berlin in collaboration with The National’s Dessner brothers. Those read:
