Bon Iver’s Sable Fable is a fresh new chapter for the indie artist, mixing dreamy sounds with personal stories. This new album still captures his signature voice, but it feels warmer and more hopeful than his past work.
Bon Iver, whose real name is Justin Vernon, is an indie folk artist whose sound has evolved a lot over time. Sable Fable has a mix of songs, with some being more alternative and pop influenced.
“Everything Is Peaceful Love” is a bright, upbeat song with a pop influence. The song is about the calm, joyful feeling that comes from being in love – not just romantic love, but a deep, peaceful connection to the world or another person.
“Speyside” is one of the sadder songs on the album. The song features acoustic guitar work and emotional vocals, focusing on the sad lyrics about self-doubt and worry. This song shows Vernon’s soft, high vocals, which pair perfectly with the lyrics.
“Walk Home” has a more R&B feel to it. The song has a steady rhythm with vocals in the background. It has a chill, relaxed vibe, perfect for a late night car ride.
Overall, Sable Fable shows a different side of Bon Iver, while still keeping with his signature voice. The album is a great listen from beginning to end.
