June 21 street date. 'Bon Iver' is Justin Vernon returning to former haunts with a new spirit. The reprises are there - solitude, quietude, hope and desperation compressed - but always a rhythm arises, a pulse vivified by gratitude and grace notes. The winter, the legend, has faded to just that, and this is the new momentary present. The icicles have dropped, rising up again as grass.
July 10 street date. Now available on cassette. "i,i" is Bon Iver's most expansive, joyful and generous album to date. If "For Emma, Forever Ago" was the crisp, heart-strung isolation of a northern Winter; "Bon Iver" the rise and whirr of burgeoning Spring; and "22, A Million", a blistering, "crazy energy" Summer record, "i,i" completes the cycle: a fall record; Autumn-colored, ruminative, steeped. The autumn of Bon Iver is a celebration of self acceptance and gratitude, bolstered by community and delivering the bounty of an infinite American music. The sales and accolades are well-known - multiple Gold albums, multiple Grammys, chart-topping collaborations and festival headlines. But even more significantly, with each release Bon Iver quietly shifts the state of modern music. From the boundaries of folk, to the rules of autotune, to production work for others, Bon Iver's fingerprint finds its way across the mainstream every time. Vernon has always been a master collaborator, and on "i,i" that desire becomes maximal, with guests ranging from Moses Sumney and Bruce Hornsby to Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. Here, the music - and band, and themes, and creative space - are bigger than ever.

March 27 street date. Bon Iver's "Blood Bank" EP was originally released in early 2009, hot on the heels of the beloved album "For Emma, Forever Ago". The EP was a harbinger of a new sound for Bon Iver: a movement away from the acoustic guitar-led instrumentation of the debut and the beginning of an exploration into the experimental sounds that have evolved but defined Bon Iver ever since. The reissue of this seminal EP is coupled with brand new live renditions of all the EP tracks, all recorded at various venues in 2018.

March 25 street date. Last June marked the ten year anniversary of the worldwide release of Bon Iver's highly acclaimed sophomore release "Bon Iver, Bon Iver". To commemorate the occasion, the band and Jagjaguwar will release a limited edition reissue of the influential album. This edition features five songs from Bon Iver's beautiful AIR Studios session, which captures the grand spirit of "Bon Iver, Bon Iver" and distills it into sharper focus, as Justin Vernon and Sean Carey perform the songs as a duo, on grand pianos and vocals only. The physical release of "Bon Iver, Bon Iver (10th anniversary edition)" features a blind embossed version of the original cover art and an intimate personal essay from long-time fan Phoebe Bridgers recalling how the "massive, sprawling, unbelievably complex" album brings about both yearning for yesterday, contentment for the present, and
collective hope for the future. The album's iconic cover art has been reimagined to a minimal white-on-white, with a white LP to match.
