Bon Iver - Sable, Fable


10 (teilweise recht ungewöhnliche) Merchandise-Produkte zum neuen Album von Bon Iver:

1. SABLE, fABLE Cassette (ca. 16 €)
Light grey cassette in a full color o-card. 




2. Mood Mist by Bon Iver x Earl of East (ca. 43 €)
In line with Bon Iver's new album release SABLE, fABLE we created a custom candle and mood mist that marries the ability of scent and sound to conjure memories and emotions. With notes of woodsmoke, neroli and geranium the scent is reminiscent of Justin's favourite pizza joint, making it inviting, warm and nostalgic.




3. SABLE, fABLE coffee (ca. 30 €)
SABLE Decaf Flume
Inspired by Flume Creek, a quiet trout stream near our roastery in Nelsonville, Wis., Decaf Flume is a sweet, reliable blend crafted for all-day enjoyment. It combines a creamy, chocolaty water-process Brazil with a lightly fruity Colombian coffee, creating a rich, robust cup perfect for espresso or a cozy evening drink. Decaf coffee requires extra care to produce at high quality, and at Ruby, we embrace it—so we can drink coffee all day long!
fABLE Colombia Samuel Gaviria Pink Bourbon
At Ruby, we have a soft spot for Pink Bourbon—a unique coffee variety with its distinctive pink cherries and vibrant flavor profile. Grown with care at Las Palmas, a small estate farm in Huila, Colombia, Samuel Gaviria and his family cultivate this exceptional coffee with dedication. In the cup, it shines with juicy notes of strawberry and cherry, a bright hint of lemon-lime, and a smooth milk chocolate finish. It's a beautifully balanced coffee that’s as enjoyable as it is unique.




4. SABLE, fABLE Field Notes 2-Pack (ca. 15 €)
Taking a cue from the beautiful and spare design of SABLE, fABLE, Field Notes created a very limited number of 2-Packs of graph-grid Field Notes Memo Books.




5. TODD SNYDER X BON IVER CASHMERE BEANIE (ca. 125 €)
It’s crafted from soft, plush Italian yarn; the soft pink hue and black square in intarsia are inspired by the alubm cover. It’s knit in a half-cardigan stitch, and features a four-point finish with a foldup cuff. 




6. SABLE, fABLE ice cream (?)
Vegan salted olive oil and grapefruit sorbet with a vegan sour jube served in our dine-in cup. Non-vegan option will be served with salmon roe




7. Bon Iver's Sable - Dark Cream Ale (ca. 17 €)
The recipe is a bit of an homage to one of Justin Vernon's favorite, the infamous 170+ year-old McSorley's Ale in NYC. Super sessionable with a balanced malt profile, Sable drinks smooth, clean, and with a subtle sweetness.




8. SABLE, fABLE Vinyl (ca. 35 €)
Limited Edition Black & Salmon Vinyl (2 LPs)




9. TODD SNYDER X BON IVER CASHMERE HOODIE (ca. 356 €)
It’s knit from soft Italian cashmere that’s the perfect weight for year-round wear, with a plush, lofty hand feel. The soft pink hue and black square in intarsia are inspired by the alubm cover, finished off with the band’s name embroidered at the bottom.




10. SABLE, fABLE Smoked Salmon Duo (ca. 20 €)
Bon Iver and Fishwife have teamed up to celebrate the salmon-colored world of SABLE, fABLE with this limited-edition smoked salmon. The box, designed by Fishwife illustrator Danny Miller, nods to Bon Iver’s legendary Wisconsin cabin and the album’s dreamlike aquatic themes.
Inside: smoky, tender Atlantic salmon sourced from Kvarøy Arctic and hand-packed in Washington by a fifth-generation cannery. Press play, take a bite, and enter the SABLE, fABLE universe.





 


Es geht um eine verlorene Liebe, der Sound ist nach Genreausflügen ins Experimentelle, Chamber Pop und Postrock wieder auf das Wesentliche reduziert wie im hypnotisch schönen „Awards Season“. Aber ein gebrochenes Herz war nur die halbe Geschichte, wie sich jetzt herausstellt, denn wir erfahren, wie es nach dem Komma im Titel weitergeht: voller Liebe, ja, sogar Hoffnung und Heilung.
So klingt es zumindest auf dem strahlenden „Everything is Peaceful Love“, das allein die Ehrenrettung des Soft-Rock-Genres darstellte – wenn da nicht die anderen Songs wären: „Walk Home“ mit seinen verzerrten Vocals, das verträumte Duett „If Only I Could Wait“ mit Danielle Haim oder das zarte „There’s A Rhythm“. Während seit 2007 alle Indieboys der Welt versuchen, Bon Iver zu kopieren, hat Justin Vernon mittlerweile völlig andere Sphären erreicht. Wie gut, dass er zurück ist.


 


Da ist viel hymnischer Folk im Fleet-Foxes-Modus zu hören, wie man ihn von Bon Iver seit dem bahnbrechenden Debüt For Emma, Forever Ago (2007) eine Zeitlang gewohnt war, aber auch warmer, umarmender Neo-Soul wie im herrlichen Everything Is Peaceful Love (man möchte angesichts der Weltlage gern dran glauben…), einem der stärksten Vernon-Songs überhaupt, oder in der an Prince erinnernden Ballade Walk Home. Mit Day One (featuring Dijon/Flock Of Dimes) und If Only I Could Wait (featuring Danielle Haim) hat der mit einem dicken Szene-Telefonbuch ausgestattete Vernon auch wieder zwei sehr gelungene Duette im Angebot. (…)
Nach dem krönenden Fünfminüter There’s A Rhythm, einer lupenreinen Country-Soul-Ballade inklusiver prächtig schluchzender Pedal-Steel-Gitarre und ergreifender Lead- und Harmony-Vocals, sagen Bon Iver mit dem sanften Ambient-Track Au Revoir genaus dies – „Auf Wiedersehen“. Sehr gern, Justin – du hast uns wieder! Tolles Album.
