Artist: Justin Vernon

DeYarmond Edison (aka Justin Vernon 's Old Band) at The FADER Fort at SXSW (03/19/11) Photo : D. Caplan By 7 o'clock on SXSW Saturday rumors were swirling about an unbilled "special guest" appearance at The FADER Fort, thinking I was "in the know" I told everyone it was going to be Bon Iver appearing under the nom de plume of DeYarmond Edison . Turns out I was only about 25% correct, as you can see from above, DeYarmond Edison did play with frontman [...]

Hands down the most hyped about performance of the weekend.  With his last high profile performance being that of Bonnarroo in 2008, there was a significant amount of pressure on him to pull off something big.  Also, with a crowd that had been strung out, running from stage to stage for the last three days [...]

Last month, Justin Vernon dropped a few hints regarding a new Bon Iver album, with the hopes that it would be coming out in June. It seems difficult to imagine he had any time to join up with the rest of Bon Iver and record a new album, as he's been flying around with Kanye for the past year. Well, it turns out Justin was telling the truth. The band's sophomore LP, which is self-titled, will feature ten tracks and has a solid release date of June 21st. The album is described as "a lush landscape [...]

Bon Iver has announced the new self-titled album will drop on Jun 21st. Shown above is the cover art which was featured in a recent teaser video . It seems Bon Iver's site is down right now. Not sure if that is due to excited fans overwhelming it or just an unrelated (and poorly timed) issue. For now keep an eye on JagJaguwar for details. Track list: 01. Perth 02. Minnesota, WI 03. Holocene 04. Towers 05. Michicant 06. Hinnom, TX 07. Wash. 08. Calgary [...]

O mistério do teaser liberado por Bon Iver na última semana acaba de ser desvendado. A imagem que acompanhava o trecho musical inédito de 50 segundos é, na verdade, a capa de seu segundo álbum, que recebe o nome nada criativo de Bon Iver e será lançado no dia 21 de junho, em pleno inverno brasileiro. O aguardado sucessor de For Emma, Forever Ago será formado por 10 faixas compostas por Justin Vernon e, de acordo com seu press release é "uma paisagem rica de guitarras elétricas sedosas, [...]

We brought you the exciting news just a few weeks ago that we were expecting a new LP from Justin Vernon's Bon Iver project to come out in June. More details have now become available, the record will be self titled and will be released through Jagjaguwar on June 21st. After the unexpected and international nature of the success of For Emma, Forever Ago and the beautiful, ethereal tones of the Blood Bank EP the new record has a lot to live up to, and [...]

Bon Iver album art It's been a few years since the release of Bon Iver's classic, critically-acclaimed debut For Emma, Forever Ago . Since then, Bon Iver became a full-fledged band*, released a follow-up EP, and Justin Vernon cut records with new bands Volcano Choir and Gayngs. To top it all off, Vernon played a prominent supporting role on Kanye West's masterpiece My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy . Understandably, people were getting a bit anxious to hear anything about new Bon Iver material. Today, we have some [...]

Check out the performance from Gayngs from last Friday during Coachella above. The performance included appearances from the likes of P.O.S., Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) and Har Mar Superstar. And the debate of "Which is more important: Record Store Day or Coachella?" continues.

The National never cease to leave me breathless.  No, The National never cease to leave me feeling as drained as if I just escaped a 12 round mental boxing match with a former fling.  Strangely enough, it's that emotional punch in the gut that sort of energizes you, and reminds you that sometimes the lows do justify the highs. After a sundown set in the desert packed with a level of emotion that seemed to over power the heat and the horns, the band follows up with the lush track "Exile Vilify" for the video game Portal 2. [...]

Justin Vernon had a fun 12 months flying around the world on Yeezy's dime. But on June 21st, he'll rejoin the rest of his Bon Iver bandmates for the release of the band's long-awaited sophomore LP (via Jagjaguwar). The self-titled effort will feature 10 tracks, all of which were written by Vernon and recorded and mixed at April Base Studios over the last three years. According to an issued press release, the end result is "a lush landscape of silky electric guitars, intricate keys, and subtle horn and string sections, which retains the ghost choirs and [...]

On the heels of a triumphant, collaborative visit to Coachella over the weekend, details for Bon Iver’s follow-up to their debut LP, For Emma, Forever Ago , have been announced by Justin Vernon’s label, Jagjaguwar. June 21 marks the drop date for the self-titled sophomore effort, a 10-track album in which — as previously reported — each song represents a different geographical location. Bon Iver was recorded and mixed over the course of three years at April Base Studios, a former veterinarian’s clinic in Wisconsin that was remodeled by [...]

Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon may have a sophomore LP on the way (you’ve heard the 51-second teaser of his follow-up to For Emma, Forever Ago , right?), but preparing for that highly anticipated release didn’t stop him from flying out to the desert over the weekend to support a few famous friends and past collaborators. Then again, who wouldn’t hop a flight to share the stage with friends like these. Watch below, as Vernon teams up with Kanye West, The National, and Gayngs — all of whom released their latest records featuring guest spots by [...]

Footage of Kanye West's entire set from this past weekend's Coachella music festival.

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Frazer Harrison, Getty Images The National delivered a powerful set at Coachella 's Outdoor Theatre on Sunday night, rocking a sprawling, contemplative crowd while competing with '80s legends Duran Duran on the Main stage. Having released their stellar fifth album 'High Violet' in May 2010, the Brooklyn band has been on tour for the better part of the last year, and seeing them [...]

Sunday at Indio featured CSS, Delorean, HEALTH, Lightning Bolt, OFF!, the Strokes, a riot-free Death From Above 1979, MEN, Twin Shadow, Wiz Khalifa, and others, but it seems folks were largely focused on who Kanye may or may not bring on stage with him for his festival closing set. Justin Vernon came along for the ride, as did a pack of dancers, but it turns out the main "special guest" - no Nicki, no Jay-Z, no Rihanna - was West himself. Which is maybe the boldest, most refreshing, expectation stomping move the guy's made in a while. Photos by [...]

Vivemos na era do teaser. Qualquer filme, álbum, música ou clipe dos últimos tempos é liberado em doses curtas e perfeitas para aumentar expectativas e criar burburinho.

Audiovisuals// Bon Iver - Album Preview T his short, easeful preview is the perfect introduction to Bon Iver’s first full-length since the monumental success of his debut and the subsequent work with Kanye West, the ‘Blood Bank’ EP, etc. The melody that meets the art on the wall is predictably beautiful and it whets the appetite big time.
