Bon Iver - Volumes: One Selections From Music Concerts 2019-2023 6 Piece Band - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

VOLUMES ONE, the first non-studio from Bon Iver, captures 10 distinctive live performances, recorded between 2019 and 2023, showcasing Justin Vernon and his band at their most whole. There's a warmth and exuberance across the album, as well as the sort of muscular sound you can really only get at a live show. For the uninitiated and die-hards alike, these recordings could well be the defining versions of the tracks, no doubt made possible through the essential live engineering of Xandy Whitesel and performances from bandmates Jenn Wasner, Sean Carey, Michael Lewis, Matthew McCaughan, and Andrew Fitzpatrick. Vernon began working on VOLUMES ONE in 2020, and he spent a considerable amount of time combing through concerts to pull out the right songs to define Bon Iver. InchThis is what we became,Inch Vernon comments. InchThis is really us at our best. This is it.Inch VOLUMES ONE, as a result, is something greater than a compilation or live album. It's entirely new but still familiar, offering a prismatic look at an old friend, seeing them for who they were and who they are, all the goodness of which they're capable but maybe too shy to show at times. With VOLUMES ONE, Vernon begins a new Bon Iver archival series that he's modeled after Bob Dylan's iconic Bootleg Series and the ever-delivering Neil Young Archives. The series will present the many eras and facets of Bon Iver, spanning live shows, demos, unreleased recordings, and more. InchThis particular 10 songs is like, here, if you've never heard Bon Iver, or you have and you didn't like it, this might be for you,Inch he says. -Matthew Strauss Album Tracks 1.
