Justin Vernon has formally launched “Hazelton,” a track that he recorded between July 2005 and Might 2006 and that he would finally remodel into Bon Iver’s “Holocene.” It’s considered one of two tracks from the forthcoming DeYarmond Edison box set that’s being launched at present; the opposite is “Liner.” Hear each songs beneath.
Vernon first shared “Hazelton” and “Liner” on handmade CD-Rs in 2006. The solo music apparently contributed to the dissolution of DeYarmond Edison—Vernon’s Raleigh band with Phil and Brad Cook and Joe Westerlund.
Vernon, the Cooks, and Westerlund are revisiting their early music with Epoch, which comes out on August 18 by way of Jagjaguwar. The 83-track launch options music from DeYarmond Edison, Justin Vernon, Megafaun, and extra.
Bon Iver are headlining this yr’s Pitchfork Music Festival at Union Park in Chicago on Sunday, July 23. Tickets are on sale now.
