Jagjaguwar has announced that the new Bon Iver EP, Blood Bank, is due for release on January 20th, 2009.
The four track disc is a likely extension of Bon Iver’s hugely successful, internationally acclaimed first album, For Emma, Forever Ago. For Emma was a beautifully written and painfully cohesive collection of tracks; I can only assume that these additional songs will continue to develop the timeless musicality and the Wisconsin lore that have become such an integral part of the Bon Iver/Justin Vernon identity.
Bon Iver has tour dates scheduled nationally. The Wisconsin dates are in Madison (12/19 at the Barrymore Theatre - Sold Out) and Eau Claire (12/22 at State Theatre.) If you are lucky enough to have tickets, I’m certain the shows will be incredible.
