BON IVER - HOLOCENE/COME TALK TO ME EP (12" LP)

Bon Iver Holocene/Come Talk To Me EP on 12" Vinyl

“Holocene” is the second single from Bon Iver, Bon Iver. The b-side is a cover of Peter Gabriel’s “Come Talk to Me,” which Bon Iver originally recorded as a swap, with Gabriel recording “Flume” from For Emma, Forever Ago.

Bon Iver, Bon Iver was recorded and mixed at April Base Studios, a remodeled veterinarian’s clinic located in rural Fall Creek, WI. The main recording space is constructed over a defunct indoor pool attached to the clinic. “It’s a unique space and destination; it’s our home out here,” says Vernon, who purchased the structure with his brother in late 2008 with the sole intention of converting it into his ideal recording studio. “It’s been a wonderful freedom, working in a place we built. It’s also only three miles from the house I grew up in, and just ten minutes from the bar where my parents met.”

The creation of Bon Iver, Bon Iver was a three-year process, and Vernon says the completion of the studio paralleled the completion of the album. “I was writing and recording in the windows of time snatched between tours in support of For Emma,” he says. “When I finally came home to hunker down for a solid stretch there was a feeling of solid ground and an opportunity for liberation waiting in the
space for me.” Bon Iver, Bon Iver is Justin Vernon returning to former haunts with a new spirit.
