A couple of months ago, I wrote about my favourite band, Bon Iver, releasing a 3-track EP (here’s the definition of what that is - I never knew either) called 'SABLE,' following their last full album, i,i from 2019.
Slightly saddened that there were only three songs, I decided to just savour them, make peace with the idea that “that’s all there’ll be,” and moved on.
Now imagine my surprise when Spotify showed an upcoming release titled 'SABLE, fABLE' - A SECOND PART OF THE ALBUM!
Turns out the first release (SABLE,) was intentionally meant to be an emotional clearing - a kind of unburdening to make space for the lighter second half, fABLE.
“SABLE, was the prologue, a controlled burn clearing the way for new possibilities. fABLE is the book. Stories of introduction and celebration. The fresh growth that blankets the charred ground. Where SABLE, was a work of solitude, fABLE is an outstretched hand.” - boniver.org
Clearly felt in tracks like Everything is Peaceful Love and Walk Home, this album is shaping up to be such a beautiful composition of love, clarity, appreciation, and togetherness.
I’m absolutely loving it so far and am so grateful we’re getting another full Bon Iver album to live in for a while.

Writing-out and assembling my reflections into story-formatted pieces to share with strangers on the internet, in the hopes that they may benefit from them, seems to bring me great joy.
If you enjoyed this piece and feel like supporting it, you can do so buying me a virtual coffee.
