    I thought Bon Iver had a few more fans on here than just me!

    Hey, Ma is obviously an off cut of 22 million; U sort of sounds like a b side. Maybe they will grow on me.

    the three proper Bon Iver records are some of my favorites of the past decade+

    cannot be more excited for this. i'm itching for an actual announcement. this **** where bands like Tame Impala, Bon Iver, etc. put out multiple singles way ahead of any album announcement is kinda infuriating.

    His pretentiousness is enough to try my patience... that album title makes my head want to explode!

    U (Man Like) has got some nice elements in it, I just really dislike the arrangement/production. I wish it was dreamier.

    Hey Ma sounds like a 22 Million retread. Can't get past hearing the same sound effects.

    I absolutely love both Hey Ma and U (Man Like)--the latter of which features beautiful work from Bruce Hornsby. I seem to be in the minority on this thread at least.

    Very excited to get official word on i, i for late next month. Two new songs as well:

    'Faith'


    Another beautiful song and I love the lyrics on this one.

    I just love Justin Vernon's voice and the nature of the music he creates. I've been a fan since Emma, and the work of Bon Iver has helped me with my anxiety on more than one occasion so it holds a special place in my heart.

    And here is the second new song--'Jelmore':



    Very unusual track but beautiful. I wasn't sure at all about 22, A Million when it came out but it has become my favorite Bon Iver album. I love the experimental direction the music has gone it. I don't find it pretentious at all.

    This one is pretty good. Channeling Peter Gabriel, it feels at times, which is not a bad thing.

    So far, I like this one the best of the songs posted here. I like the video, too.

    An interesting guy. Every album of his has been filled with gold.

    Is this the new album thread? Should the thread title be changed?

    Yes, the new album is now confirmed. I sent a request to the gorts to change the title. I know there are some Bon Iver fans on this board who will be interested in checking this out. @Gaslight do you sample early tracks or wait for the full album release?

    But now that it's on my radar.... :)

    Hey, Ma and Faith the standouts so far for me.

    I was really onboard with 22, A Million, thought it was great; but I’m surprised he’s heading further down the Kanye road with this album.

    Love the choreography and 90s windbreaker fashion in the Faith video. (I think that’s my most positive impression of the new stuff so far...)

    22 A Million is the only album of his I even remotely care about, so I'll probably check this out if it's in the same vein.
