Justin Vernonbetter known artistically as Bon Iverwill release a new single this Friday. “SPEYSIDE”, a song in which we will only be able to hear her voice accompanied by an acoustic guitar and a viola.
We are waiting for a new album from Bon Iver for a few years now, and it seems that “SPEYSIDE” could be part of a new work by the American artist, although nothing has been officially confirmed, the same thing happened with the songs released a few years ago, the charity “PDLIF” and “AUTC”. In any case, we will have to wait and see if this Friday, when both the audio and the video of the song are released, there is more information on the subject.
The theme has been written by Justin Vernon with the collaboration of the usual Ryan Olson and BJ Burtonwhile the recording features only the voice and guitar of the singer himself. Justin Vernonalong with the viola of Rob Moose. On the other hand, “SPEYSIDE” has been produced by Vernon and Jim-E Stackwith additional production of Olson and string arrangements of Moose.
The bad news is that we won’t be able to hear the song until this Friday, when the video directed by Erinn Springer. Mind you, you might have heard it already, as he’s performed it at six different shows, including the one in London in October 2022, when the singer introduced it by saying, “When I wrote this song, I was feeling a lot of guilt, which is an important emotion to feel. But it’s also an important emotion to let go of. The day I wrote it, I was a little bit drunk on rum and I sent it to a few friends who had been there that night. I’m just grateful to have friends to send a song to, you know? It’s not about putting your shit on MySpace anymore.”
