Justin Vernon will release a third Bon Iver album in September.
It’s a record which seemed like a distant possibility as the 2011 predecessor ‘Bon Iver, Bon Iver‘ was busy picking up numerous accolades; Vernon initially declaring he felt the need to ‘walk away from it while I still care about it’, and later telling USA Today that he had no desire to write another Bon Iver record. “I don’t really write songs anymore,” he said.
“The last Bon Iver record was a very ‘sitting down with a guitar and writing’ kind of record. I really have to be in a specific headspace to even begin to illuminate an idea that would create another Bon Iver record, and I’m just not there.”
However, after the live return was announced last year, ‘22, A Million‘ is to be released on September 30th. The tracklisting, put together by a broken keyboard, is below.
