Bon Iver New Album Details

The album cover for 'Bon Iver,' to be released June 17, 2011

In 2008, Bon Iver took the world by storm when they released the monumental For Emma, Forever Ago to massive critical acclaim. Justin Vernon became the unofficial king of the indie world overnight as his band's debut album quickly became a favourite of every 20-something with a break-up fresh in their memories.  He left the world wanting so much more.  There was the Blood Bank EP, released in 2009, but the world has been patiently waiting for Bon Iver's full-length follow-up.  Well, the date has been announced.  Bon Iver will be released June 17th.  And let me tempt you with this, a 51-second clip from the new album.  Simply put, it's gorgeous. Listen to it here. And how about that album artwork? Phenomenal, no? Call me crazy, but I think Justin Vernon is about to take the world by storm.  Again.
