Justin Vernon Hints Bon Iver May Be Over

Good iver’s Justin Vernon has said he would be “very surprised” if he ever makes another full-length album.

The fifth Bon Iver record, ‘SAND, FABLE‘, was released in april via Jagjaguwar, which Vernon produced with Jim-E Stack at his own April Base Studio in Wisconsin, and it has gone on to pick up a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album.

Despite its success, Vernon has now strongly hinted that the LP may prove to be the final Bon Iver album, as he has stopped writing songs for the first time in his life.

In an interview with The Times he spoke about how his music has managed to move so many people. “I’m tapped into the emotion of music – the blue part,” he said. “I have that in me thanks to the thousands of musicians I’ve absorbed, and they’re just in there.”

However,he added: “But I don’t know how much is left. I’ve expelled a lot of it.”

When asked directly if that meant there would be no more Bon Iver albums, he responded: “I would be very surprised. For the first time since I was 12, I’m not writing songs.”

“There aren’t any in here,” he added, pointing at his heart. “I have been writing as puberty and this is unfamiliar territory – but I am accepting it.It’s scary sometimes, but I’m just letting it happen …”

Bon Iver made a major splash with the debut album ‘for Emma, Forever Ago’ in 2007, which Vernon recorded in isolation in a cabin in Wisconsin. A 2011 self-titled album, 2016’s 22, A Million and 2019’s i, i followed, as did collaborations with major names such as Taylor Swift, Kanye West and Charli XCX.
