Bon Iver Makes Album Announcement Official With Details

For weeks now, I have been posting about Bon Iver's forthcoming, sophomore release. It was only a week ago that Bon Iver released a mysterious fifty-second video tease of the album hinting to its cover art and sound. But today, Justin Vernon and Bon Iver have made it official with the announcement of the date and title as well as unveiling the cover art and track list. The record entitled, Bon Iver, will be out on June 21st via Jagjaguwar.

Recorded and mixed over a three-year period at a former veterinarian's clinic in Wisonsin, Bon Iver will feature regulars Sean Carey, Mike Noyce, and Matt McCaughan who will contribute to the album. Volcano Choir members, Jim Schoenecker and Tom Wincek will also lend a helping hand with processing, while Rob Moose, who has worked with the National and Antony, assisted with string arrangements. The record also includes pedal steel player extraordinaire Greg Leisz and a horn section that features Mike Lewis, CJ Camerieri, and Colin Stetson. And, the beautiful cover art as seen above, is from Minnesota artist Gregory Euclide.
