Bon Iver Releases 'SABLE, fABLE,' Marking a Creative Rebirth

The band's fifth studio album juxtaposes introspection and optimism, blending minimal folk roots with innovative collaborations.

Bon Iver's 'SABLE, fABLE,' released on April 11, 2025, is the band's first full-length album in six years, expanding on themes introduced in the 2024 'SABLE' EP.
The album is divided into two contrasting sections: the darker, introspective 'SABLE' and the brighter, more optimistic 'fABLE.'
Collaborations with artists like Danielle Haim, Dujon, and Flock of Dimes add fresh perspectives and sonic depth to tracks such as 'If Only I Could Wait' and 'Day One.'
Musically, the album revisits Bon Iver's early minimalist folk sound, reminiscent of their debut, while incorporating modern, experimental elements and emotional themes of anxiety, renewal, and fulfillment.
Critics have widely praised 'SABLE, fABLE' as a significant evolution in Bon Iver's artistic identity and a standout release in the indie music landscape.
