Sable, Fable (stylized as SABLE, fABLE) is the upcoming fifth studio album by American indie folk project Bon Iver, set to be released on April 11, 2025, via Jagjaguwar.[1] The album is a continuation of the Sable EP (2024), which it includes as a separate disc. It features guest appearances by Dijon, Flock of Dimes, and Danielle Haim, and will mark the band's first album in six years since I, I (2019).[2]
Background and recording
[edit]Justin Vernon co-produced the album with Jim-E Stack,[3] who had previously worked with Bon Iver on the 2020 non-album singles, "PDLIF" and "AUATC".
The album was primarily recorded at Vernon's April Base studio in Wisconsin after it had been inactive for years as it underwent renovation. The "conceptual genesis" for the album was on February 22, 2022, when Stack arrived at the studio with Danielle Haim, whose vocals are featured on "If Only I Could Wait".[4] The album's announcement billed it as "Bon Iver's next chapter: the epilogue" and described it as a "love story set to lush, radiant pop music."[5]
Release
[edit]Sable, Fable was officially announced on February 11, 2025.[6] The first single "Everything Is Peaceful Love" was released on February 14, 2025, alongside a music video directed by filmmaker John Wilson.[4]
