SABLE, by Bon Iver
SABLE, is an EP by Bon Iver, released in 2024. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 11 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Speyside”, on 10 lists with a best position of #9.
SABLE, the second EP from Bon Iver, landed on Jagjaguwar in October 2024, and it sends Justin Vernon back toward the hushed, bare-boned indie folk of For Emma, Forever Ago (2007) and Blood Bank (2009) Vernon produced it with Jim-E Stack, and the songs feel stripped to the studs, with a lot of cold air left around every note.
"Speyside" is the heart of it, gentle and aching, while "THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS" lets the melancholy drift. It works as a short, cold-weather reckoning on its own, and it turned out to be the opening chapter of something bigger: the EP was folded into Sable, Fable, the fifth Bon Iver album, the following April.
