Bon Iver’s new — and strange — video: a leak from the forthcoming album?
Justin Vernon, the mastermind behind indie-folk soundscape artists Bon Iver, has been known for his bizarre style. While his music is ghostly and beautifully haunting, his descriptive, suggestive lyrics are supported by richly layered harmonies that often need entire rooms of people singing them to achieve the desired quality of sound. Bon Iver’s live performances often utilize the audiences themselves, passing out lyric sheets to the crowd, encouraging people to sing along in order to create a collective vocal symphony.
It’s been almost four years since the group released their debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago, and Vernon recently caught his fans’ attention when he announced a second album would finally be released in June. But true to his way of doing things, a name for the album has not been released, nor has any information on the tracks. Until maybe now.
