Bon Iver | Volumes One - Selections from Music Concerts 2019-2023
Bon Iver launches a new archive series and announces their first non-studio album VOLUMES: ONE "SELECTIONS FROM MUSIC CONCERTS 2019-2023 BON IVER 6 PIECE BAND", set for release on April 3, 2026.
"VOLUMES" will be a new and recurring archive series featuring recordings from live shows, demos, previously unreleased tracks, and unheard material, collectively representing the many eras that make up “Bon Iver”.
"This particular set of 10 songs is like, ‘Here, if you’ve never heard Bon Iver, or you have and you didn’t like it, this might be for you.’ This is what we became. This is really us at our best. This is it," says Justin Vernon, who began working on VOLUMES: ONE in 2020 by going through many, many hours of live recordings to assemble the ultimate tracklist.
VOLUMES: ONE ”SELECTIONS FROM MUSIC CONCERTS 2019-2023 BON IVER 6 PIECE BAND” is Bon Iver’s first release not recorded in the studio, functioning as something greater than a compilation or a traditional live album.
Band members Andrew Fitzpatrick, Jenn Wasner, Justin Vernon, Matthew McCaughan, Michael Lewis and Sean Carey each form an independent musical force. Together they deliver defining versions of these songs – both for newcomers and devoted fans – unfolding them in their richest and most complete form through Xandy Whitesel’s essential live sound engineering.
Recorded between 2019 and 2023 – concluding with Bon Iver’s most recent live performance to date – VOLUMES 1 highlights music from the 2016 album 22, A Million and the 2019 album i,i, complemented by three significant works: the COVID-era anthem 'P.D.L.I.F.' marking a new chapter for Bon Iver; an interpretation of Mahalia Jackson’s 'A SATISFIED MIND', tracing back to the early DeYarmond Edison days when Vernon first embraced his falsetto during private rehearsals; and finally the return of beloved fan favorite 'HEAVENLY FATHER'.
