Bon Iver (the project led by Justin Vernon) has announced a new album, SABLE, fABLE. Its lead single, “Everything Is Peaceful Love,” is due out this Friday. SABLE, fABLE’s release date is April 11, via Jagjaguwar. Below check out the album’s tracklist and cover artwork.

SABLE, fABLE follows Bon Iver’s 2024 EP, SABLE, (the comma is part of the title), which came out last October. The album opens with all three tracks from SABLE,. The EP’s first single (and the new album’s second track), “S P E Y S I D E,” was one of our Songs of the Week. The last Bon Iver full-length album, i, i, came out in 2019 via Jagjaguwar.

Vernon produced the album with Jim-E Stack and recorded it at Vernon’s April Base studio in Wisconsin after it had been unused for a while during a renovation. The album began on 2/22/22 when Stack and Danielle Haim (of HAIM) showed up at April Base and they were all snowed in. This led to the creation of “If Only I Could Wait,” a duet between Vernon and Haim. A press release says that the SABLE, EP was the prologue and SABLE, fABLE is the book, but together they form the album.

John Wilson, of HBO’s How To with John Wilson, directed and edited the video for “Everything Is Peaceful Love.”

On February 21, Vernon will appear at the On Air Fest in Brooklyn, where he will be in conversation with Peabody-award winning broadcaster Krista Tippett, of The On Being Project. Tickets are available here and the conversation will be live-streamed by the Los Angeles public radio station KCRW and will also be included in a future episode of Tippett’s On Being radio show.

Last August, Bon Iver performed at a Kamala Harris and Tim Walz rally in Wisconsin.
