Bon Iver's three-song collection 'SABLE', was a prologue mired in darkness, a controlled burn clearing the way for new possibilities. 'fABLE' is the book that follows. Where 'SABLE', was a work of solitude, 'fABLE' is an outstretched hand. Radiant, ornate pop music gleams around Vernon's voice as he focuses on a new and beautiful era. On every song, his eyes are locked with one specific person. It's love, which means there's an intense clarity, focus, and honesty within 'fABLE'. It's a portrait of a man flooded and overwhelmed by that first meeting ('Everything Is Peaceful Love'). There's a tableau defined by sex and irrepressible desire ('Walk Home'). This is someone filled with light and purpose seeing an entire future right in front of him: a partner, new memories, maybe a family.
