Bon Iver looks fine and newly cleansed on this ballad "Everything is Peaceful Love," the lead single from his forthcoming album, SABLE, FABLE.
With help from frequent collaborators BJ Burton and Jim-E Stack, Justin Vernon
offsets a pop-soul standard with some of his signature quirks: granular
synthesizer and electronic percussion, syrupy pedal steel slung across a
bed of warm keys, cavernous vocal harmonies colliding with horns and
strings. Never has he sounded so joyous, so sure of the goodness in
himself and others. The song’s statement of
purpose may seem sappy or simple—love is everywhere, word to Pharoah Sanders—but
Vernon’s sincerity overcomes any threat of sentimentality, an anthem of hope carved from decades of depression
and failure, a love song haunted by pain, a hymn powerful enough to
persuade even the harshest cynics that sorrow isn’t forever, that
everything really is love if you tune in at the right frequency, the video was shot and edited by John Wilson
