I don't know when a proper follow up to this year's For Emma, Forever Ago is planned for release, but I understand the four tracks on Bon Iver's new EP, Blood Bank, were not recorded in the For Emma sessions.
Mostly they are of a kind with the songs on that album, though they also branch out into new sonic territory, grasping for a fuller and perhaps even more insular sound. the song "Babys" particularly comes to mind, with its tense and intense piano chords, and Justin Vernon's autotune on the track "Woods" is unlike anything yet heard from the Wisconsinite (Wisconsonian?).
If you felt, as I did, at the end of For Emma, Forever Ago, that you needed more of Bon Iver and quick, you'll be happy to hear at least most of Blood Bank.
