Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver has announced the follow-up to his 2008 debut For Emma, Forever Ago. Bon Iver, Bon Iver arrives June 21st via Jagjaguwar.

From the label:
"In the absence of solid ground, the whirlwind becomes a whirlpool, and Bon Iver, Bon Iver is Justin Vernon returning to former haunts with a new spirit. The reprises are there – solitude, quietude, hope and desperation compressed – but always a rhythm arises, a pulse vivified by gratitude and grace notes, some as bright as a bicycle bell. The winter, the legend, has faded to just that, and this is the new momentary present. The icicles have dropped, rising up again as grass."
