Justin Vernon has announced Bon Iver’s next chapter, SABLE, fABLE which is the project’s first album in six years.

As per a mailout from the artist's label, "the album begins with the vulnerable unburdening of last year’s SABLE EP, before unfolding into an entirely new nine-song saga. Where SABLE is a sparse and solitary reckoning with a pain that long-defined the past, fABLE looks towards a vibrant future filled with light, purpose and possibility: a partner, new memories, perhaps a family."

The album will be previewed on Thursday evening with the release of new single, "Everything Is Peaceful Love", which will arrive alongside a music video shot and edited by filmmaker John Wilson, of HBO’s How To with John Wilson.

Produced by Justin Vernon and Jim-E Stack, SABLE, fABLE was primarily recorded at Vernon’s April Base in Wisconsin, after years that the studio spent laying dormant during a renovation. The conceptual genesis for the album occurred on 22/02/22, when Stack arrived at the Base with Danielle Haim. Snowed in for multiple days, Vernon and Haim’s voices intertwined on “If Only I Could Wait,” a duet with crucial perspective, about not having the strength to be the best version of yourself outside the glow of new love.

The full-length release is set to follow i,i, released in 2019, and 22, A Million, which came out in 2016.
