Bon Iver - Radio City Music Hall Performance

Ever since the release of their successful self-titled album last year, Justin Vernon’s Bon Iver project has been in high demand within the music world and beyond. However, don’t expect to hear anything new anytime soon from them. During last night’s conversation with Minnesota Public Radio station 89.3 The Current’s Local Show, Vernon answered the question what Bon Iver’s “up to these days” and made it clear the band is currently “winding down.”

Winding it down. I look at it like a faucet. I have to turn it off and walk away from it because so much of how that music comes together is subconscious or discovering. There’s so much attention on the band, it can be distracting at times. I really feel the need to walk away from it while I still care about it. And then if I come back to it – if at all – I’ll feel better about it and be renewed or something to do that.

Good thing that Bon Iver’s performance at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall last week is now streaming live on YouTube.
