In “S P E Y S I D E,” the lead single from Bon Iver’s upcoming SABLE EP, Justin Vernon reflects, “Nothing’s really happened like I thought it would.” Despite his status as a Grammy winner, festival headliner, and collaborator with artists like Taylor Swift, Vernon takes a step back with this song, stripping away the experimental production and intricate soundscapes that have defined his recent work.
“S P E Y S I D E” features only Vernon’s emotive voice, an acoustic guitar, and a subtle viola, capturing the raw, intimate feel of his early music. It’s a heartfelt song of apology, where Vernon’s simple, sincere lyrics—”Man, I’m so sorry”—carry immense weight. This understated approach serves as a powerful reminder of his ability to evoke deep emotions with minimal elements, making “S P E Y S I D E” one of his most moving tracks to date.
The song is now available on all major digital platforms. Fans can follow Bon Iver on social media to stay updated on new releases and upcoming projects.
