Yesterday, the album was already played at 63 listening parties all over the world. Check out our first impression of Bon Iver's new record i,i here.
I,i serves as the fourth and last part of Bon Iver's cycle of seasons: For Emma, Forever Ago represents winter, Bon Iver spring, 22, A Million summer and i,i autumn.
Vernon previously said about the new album: "It feels very much like the most adult record, the most complete. It feels like when you get through all this life, when the sun starts to set, and what happens is you start gaining perspective. And then you can put that perspective into more honest, generous work."
