Bon Iver is set to return later this summer with its fourth album, i,i. It’s set to be the Justin Vernon-fronted act’s first full-length release since 22, A Million in 2016, and is set to feature 13 new songs. To accompany the album announcement, Bon Iver dropped two new songs titled “Faith” and “Jelmore.”
In a press statement, Bon Iver explained how the project came together:
Recording over a long time at April Base in Wisconsin but finishing at Sonic Ranch in Texas allowed us to feel confident, comfortable, and completely free of distraction. The sense of community around the record grew through honest, generous inspiration within the group of artists involved in the creative process of the record. The thirteen new songs on i,i complete a cycle: from the winter of For Emma, Forever Ago came the frenetic spring of Bon Iver, Bon Iver, and the unhinged summer of 22, A Million. Now, fall arrives early with i,i.
“Faith” and “Jelmore” follow Bon Iver’s “Hey Ma” and “U (Man Like),” which dropped back in June. i,i is set to drop on Friday, August 30.
