Bon Iver - Sable, Fable Bon Iver

With autumn vanishing in the rearview mirror, has there ever been abetter time to revisit Justin Vernon’s latest outing?

Expanding his seductive ‘SABLE’ EP into the fully fledged ‘fABLE’, our man from Eau Claire brought in a slew of pals (including Haim’s Danielle, Dijon, Mk.gee, Jacob Collier, Kacy Hill, and Flock of Dimes) to assist. And, in doing so, added a newfound soulful weight to his ever expanding toolbox.

There’s a broad streak of optimism colouring the stunningly bright instrumentals. It’s as if Vernon is courageously stepping out into the light, initially blinking against the glare but then putting his best footforward and ploughing on out into the waiting world. This is one romantic tale you’ll want to lose yourself within again and again.
