Justin Vernon’s rarity “hazelton,” a song that would go on to shape Bon Iver’s “Holocene,” has been shared. Epoch, the 5-LP, 4-CD, and 114-page box set of DeYarmond Edison, a short-lived band who would end up birthing Bon Iver, Megafaun and more, is due out August 18 via Jagjaguwar and the track is featured on there. The 83 recordings included in the set span over the evolution of founding members Vernon, Brad Cook, Phil Cook, and Joe Westerlund from their albums as childhood friends to more current music. For Epoch’s second preview, Vernon’s “hazelton” has been shared, alongside another track, “liner,” Listen to both below, followed by Epoch’s tracklist and cover artwork.

Vernon originally recorded and released “hazelton” on a batch of 100 handmade, hand numbered CDs between July 2005 and May 2006. Of the song, Grayson Haver Currin, the box set’s executive producer says: “This is the sound of sorting through an overabundance of new info, mostly for yourself. And, even in the rather fraught process, finding out just where it is you’ve been headed your whole life.” While this was nearing the close of DeYarmond Edison, this was opening doors for each artist’s individuality.

In addition to “hazelton” and “liner,” Vernon will also be sharing the basis for Bob Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago, with “hannah, my ophelia,” a collaboration with members of Collections of Colonies of Bees. This accompanies around dozens of unpublished photos and 60,000 words of in-depth interviews.

“Hazelton” and “liner” follow the release of DeYarmond Edison’s “As Long as I Can Go” b/w Justin Vernon and Phil Cook’s “Feel The Light.”
