Bon Iver


Here is the first visuals from Bon Iver's upcoming digital re-release of his sophomore album which drops tomorrow. Instead of including bonus tracks and outtakes, the band is throwing in visual accompaniments for each of the 10 songs on the album - "said to be best experienced on a mobile device with headphones on". To better understand it, read the press release below:

Comprised of individual visual works that both complement and enrich the audio on the album, the video accompaniment was in itself another year in the making. Featuring work by Dan Huiting, Isaac Gale, David Jensen, JoLynn Garnes and Justin Vernon, the video work is meant to be consumed as a visual extension of the music, to enhance each listener’s experience with one of the year’s most acclaimed albums. While not music videos per se, these visual accompaniments are striking in their distinctive atmosphere, and compelling works in their own right.
