Bon Iver main man Justin Vernon has kept a somewhat low profile since releasing I, I in 2019, finally breaking his silence -- apart from, oh yeah, a duet with an unknown young artist named Taylor Swift on Folklore's "Exile" five years ago -- last year with the back-to-basics SABLE EP. 

Anticipation runs high, then, for what might await on Bon Iver's forthcoming fifth LP, SABLE, fABLE, due for release via longtime label Jagjaguwar on April 11. Vernon certainly seemed poised for a return to the sensitive acoustic fingerpickin' of 2007's For Emma, Forever Ago on the EP, which will apparently be packaged as a separate disc with the new album, but who knows? The man has made a career out of being predictably unpredictable. All we know for sure is that guests on the new record include Dijon, Danielle Haim and Flock of Dimes and that it's being billed as a "love story set to lush, radiant pop music." Sounds about right.
