Today, Bon Iver releases a bonus video of DVD Commentary for SABLE, fABLE , which just earned a nomination for Best Alternative Music Album at the 2026 GRAMMY® Awards, in addition to Best Alternative Music Performance for the record's lead single, "Everything Is Peaceful Love." Sitting on the couch with co-producer Jim-E Stack, Justin Vernon walks viewers through the creation process and personal stories behind every song on the record, from its genesis in November 2019 to the music's evolution and final release in 2025. Stack and Vernon discuss their favorite lyrics and synths, the horses they chilled with and the joints they shared, their collaborations with Danielle Haim, Dijon, Jenn Wasner and more.

Watch the SABLE, fABLE DVD Commentary, in partnership with Pigeons & Planes:

SABLE, fABLE marks Bon Iver's fourth consecutive GRAMMY® nomination for Best Alternative Music Album, and follows previous GRAMMY® wins for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album. It is also Bon Iver's first new album in six years, and with it comes a love story set to lush, radiant music. While the record begins with the vulnerable unburdening of SABLE, those three songs seamlessly give way to a nine-track saga in which one person becomes two, darkness turns to salmon-colored beauty, and sadness transforms to unbridled joy.

Where SABLE, is a sparse and solitary reckoning with a pain that defined the past, fABLElooks towards a vibrant future filled with light, purpose and possibility. Produced by Justin Vernon and Jim-E Stack, engineered by Ian Gold and Justin Vernon, mastered by Heba Kadry, and primarily recorded at Vernon's April Base in Wisconsin, SABLE, fABLEincludes contributions from BJ Burton, Carter Faith, Cory Henry, Danielle Haim, Dijon, Greg Leisz, Jacob Collier, Jenn Wasner (Flock of Dimes), Michael Gordon (Mk.gee), Rob Moose, Tobias Jesso Jr. and more.

Earlier this fall, Cristin Milioti, Jacob Elordi, St. Vincent's Annie Clark, Flock of Dimes' Jenn Wasner, Dijon and dozens of hopefuls auditioned to be Bon Iver's replacement in the music video for SABLE, fABLE standout, "Day One" (feat. Dijon & Flock of Dimes) , following Justin Vernon's stint as a divorce attorney and limousine driver in "From," his long walk from Wisconsin to California in "There's A Rhythmn," John Wilson's take on "Everything Is Peaceful Love," and a vast collection of lyric videos, trail cam streams and more.

Director Erinn Springer's previously unreleased, three-screen triptych film for SABLE, is also available exclusively on the Criterion Channel, as of this month:
