VOLUMES: ONE launches a new archive series featuring live shows, demos, unreleased recordings, and other previously unknown material that showcases the many eras and facets of Bon Iver. VOLUMES: ONE “SELECTIONS FROM MUSIC CONCERTS 2019-2023 BON IVER 6 PIECE BAND” is the first installment and brings together 10 performances that show Bon Iver at their wildest, warmest, and most powerful.
“These 10 songs are sort of like, ‘Here, if you’ve never heard Bon Iver, or if you have heard it and didn’t like it, this might be for you.’ This is what we have become. This is truly our best. This is it,” says Justin Vernon, who began working on VOLUMES: ONE in 2020, combing through dozens of hours of live recordings to put together the ultimate tracklist.
VOLUMES: ONE “SELECTIONS FROM MUSIC CONCERTS 2019-2023 BON IVER 6 PIECE BAND” is Bon Iver’s first non-studio album, but it is more than just a compilation or a live album. The band members Andrew Fitzpatrick, Jenn Wasner, Justin Vernon, Matthew McCaughan, Michael Lewis, and Sean Carey are an entity of their own. Together, they deliver the definitive versions of these songs for newcomers and die-hard fans alike, letting the tracks explode in their richest form through the essential live engineering by Xandy Whitesel.
Recorded between 2019 and 2023, when Bon Iver played their last live concert to date, VOLUMES: ONE highlights the music from 2016’s “22, A Million” and 2019’s “i,i”, supplemented by three important pieces. The COVID anthem “P.D.L.I.F.” represents a new phase for Bon Iver; a cover of Mahalia Jackson’s “A SATISFIED MIND” recalls the early days of DeYarmond Edison, when Vernon discovered his falsetto during private band rehearsals; and finally, with “HEAVENLY FATHER,” a beloved fan favorite returns.
The intoxicating, introverted, and innovative side of Bon Iver that characterizes their studio albums cannot exist without the live band, and VOLUMES: ONE is like a time capsule—a prismatic look at an old friend, showing who they were and who they are, all the good they are capable of, but perhaps are sometimes too shy to show.
