Volumes: One ''Selections From Music Concerts 2019-2023 Bon Iver 6 Piece Band''

Description

VOLUMES: ONE, Bon Iver's first live album, brings together ten exceptional performances recorded between 2019 and 2023, revealing Justin Vernon and his band at the peak of their artistry. The album emanates a contagious warmth and exuberance, along with the unique sonic power inherent to live concerts. For both newcomers and long-time fans, these recordings could be considered the definitive versions of the tracks, thanks in particular to Xandy Whitesel's remarkable work on the live sound capture and the exceptional performances of musicians Jenn Wasner, Sean Carey, Michael Lewis, Matthew McCaughan, and Andrew Fitzpatrick. Vernon began working on VOLUMES: ONE in 2020 and spent a considerable amount of time reviewing concerts to select the tracks that best define Bon Iver. VOLUMES: ONE is therefore much more than just a compilation or a live album. Entirely new yet retaining a certain familiarity, it offers a fresh perspective on the familiar, revealing who they were and who they still are, all the goodness they are capable of but sometimes hesitate to express. With VOLUMES: ONE, Justin Vernon inaugurates a new series of Bon Iver archives, inspired by Bob Dylan's iconic Bootleg Series and the essential Neil Young Archives. This series will explore the multiple eras and facets of Bon Iver, through live performances, demos, unreleased recordings, and much more.
