What’s Justin Vernon Been Up To?
Bon Iver‘s Justin Vernon manages to accomplish more in between his band’s albums than many artists do throughout their entire careers. It’s easy to forget that spearheading Bon Iver is technically Vernon’s full-time occupation. During the time between his self-released 2007 debut “For Emma, Forever Ago” and Bon Iver’s subsequent self-titled sophomore album in 2011, Vernon launched a side project, contributed to a little album called “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” and had his music covered by Peter Gabriel. Now, a half-decade since their last studio release, Bon Iver have announced a new album, set for a live debut this Friday at Vernon’s Eaux Claires festival. In the meantime, let’s take a look at what Vernon’s been up to since 2011.
