great news! new bon iver album release date and track list

"Justin Vernon’s taking his Coachella/Kanye press bump to officially announce the release of his long awaited For Emma followup, slated for June 21st on Jagjaguwar. As we heard via the 50-second sample he released, Bon Iver stays liking harmonies and guitars, though for his ten-song self-titled new album we are promised an expanded palette which includes “silky electric guitars, beautifully intricate keys, and subtle horn and string sections.” The painting featured in that sample-video turns out to be the album art, pictured above, by Minnesota-based artist Gregory Euclide (Bon Iver also stays liking the midwest — see also track titles “Minnesota, WI,” “Michicant,” “Lisbon, OH”). Colin Stetson joins as part of the album’s horn section, among some other guests that fill supplemental roles; the Bon Iver band is the same as that you’ve grown accustomed to at live shows and via your “Bon Iver in concert” YouTube searches. Below is the tracklist." (via stereogum)
