Bon Iver – THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS
Bon Iver’s “THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS” is finally out as part of the 2024 EP “SABLE,”. Fans have been waiting for this one since Justin Vernon first played it during a Bernie Sanders campaign livestream back in 2020.
The track dives deep into Vernon’s struggles with anxiety and grief, themes that run through the whole EP. It’s Bon Iver’ at hi’s most raw, written when Vernon questioned his artistic direction.
As always with Bon Iver, the details matter. The comma at the end of “SABLE,” might hint at a single theme for this EP, breaking from the “two thoughts” approach of earlier works. Some fans are even wondering if it means a sequel is coming.
Recorded at April Base in Wisconsin, “THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS” strips things back to Bon Iver’s roots.
