I read this interview in which Justin explain he believes in community music
in artists meeting and collaborating
he's organised this People festival in Berlin a couple times which is like that
and he explains thats why he doesn't release hi stuff as Justin
he basically says he doesn't wanna tour solo biggrin.gif

So... this album is essentially actually out today because they're dripfeeding the rest of the album as individual 'singles' (5 more tracks dropped already and they're coming out on the hour so a few more to come). A bit of a weird strategy but what suits them...!

They did skip uploading the 30 second opening track so I guess that'll be the only part of the album that's actually new come 30th August laugh.gif

Not sure how much of these album tracks I'll bother listening to ('Hey, Ma' is the only one of the previous 4 singles I really loved) but I've seen that 'iMi' was cowritten by James Blake so I'll probably at least check that one out.

That’s an interesting strategy, can’t wait to hear more! "Hey, Ma" is challenging "Late Night Feelings" for my song of the year so far.

listening now
like all his albums, it sure will take lots of listens to digest and assimilate the songs

very good NME review out already: https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/bon-iver-...OcyuVs9z43FBHAE

Do you think that matters to an artist like Bon Iver?

I'm sure if his label cared, they wouldn't have released it like this.

Artists make so little money from album sales, it's all from touring and merch.

It might be time to centre yourself with some calming flute playing, Björk.

The album has washed over me on both listens so far, not necessarily a bad thing I guess, was pretty good for chilling/packing for Ibiza. Felt the same about "22, A Million" and that grew massively and suddenly. "29 #Strafford APTS" and "8 (Circle)" I listen to regularly again lately. "Hey, Ma" is certainly the BIG standout, I absolutely love it.

The whole album has just been properly released on Spotify so I guess it was just brought forward a couple of weeks. I presume the physical release will still be on the 30th.

Listened yesterday but it didn't grab me much, I wasn't really paying attention though.

Going through it again just now and a few more are standing out - liking Holyfields,, Hey, Ma, Faith, Salem and in particular Naeem.

Salem & We are definitely in the first highlight wave for me.

But I was so happy and pleasantly surprised this came out today instead of 3 weeks later.

Oh 'Naeem' is actually really great heart.gif why wasn't this one of the earlier singles?

'iMi' is v good as well. Although a bit strange.
