Bon Iver’s new album SABLE, fABLE feels like a closing chapter—part epilogue, part rebirth. In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, I explore how Justin Vernon blends folk, R&B, ambient, and pop into something both deeply personal and genre-defying.From the quiet intimacy of the Sable EP tracks to the lush pop clarity of Everything Is Peaceful Love, this is Bon Iver’s most emotionally resonant and sonically accessible album in years.I also reflect on my personal connection to Bon Iver’s music—from For Emma, Forever Ago soundtracking heartbreak in Dublin, to the hope and peace found in this new release.00:00 Intro 00:25 Claude Debussy01:31 Finding Bon Iver02:10 The Shape of SABLE, fABLE03:38 Hope in Epilogue 04:26 The Hero’s Journey 10:24 The Count of Monte Playlisto’s Irish Music Reviews17:58 Outro
