ADRIAN THRILLS reviews Sable, Fable: Bon Iver is back - and this is why Adele adores them...
Justin Vernon has spent the past 18 years balancing cult success with spectacular forays into the pop mainstream.
‘Damn, if I’m not climbing up a tree right now,’ sings Vernon, in a tender falsetto, on the country-soul number Everything Is Peaceful Love, a portrait of sun-kissed happiness with the feel of a 1980s radio hit and a flowing chorus enhanced by two pedal steel players, Greg Leisz and Ben Lester. Backing himself on guitar, and singing in a voice almost as gruff as Dylan’s, he sticks to Bob’s original arrangements on favourites such as Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door and Make You Feel My Love plus deeper cuts, including Spanish Harlem Incident and Emotionally Yours. Co-produced by Max Martin and his fellow Swedish musicians Ilya Salmanzadeh and Oscar Görres, it makes the most of Florida-born Ariana's soft, multi-octave falsetto while addressing recent romantic upheavals with the benefit of greater hindsight.
