10th Anniversary Of Seminal EP On Limited Edition Red Vinyl!
Includes Brand New Live Renditions Of All Tracks!
Bon Iver's Blood Bank is "arguably the most consequential EP of the 2000s" (Stereogum), and now, the group announces its 10th Anniversary reissue.
Originally released in early 2009, hot on the heels of the beloved album For Emma, Forever Ago, the EP was a harbinger of a new sound for Bon Iver: a movement away from the acoustic guitar-led instrumentation of the debut and the beginning of an exploration into the experimental sounds that have evolved but defined Bon Iver ever since. Blood Bank contains some of the group's most beloved and requested songs. The reissue of this seminal EP pairs each of the original four songs with brand new live renditions recorded during 2018 shows in Stockholm, Dallas, London and Paris, 10 years after the tracks were written.
