Justin Vernon Drives A Limo, Settles Divorces In New Bon Iver Video
Justin Vernon portrays both a limousine driver and a divorce attorney in the new video for the Bon Iver song “From,” which was directed by Asher Weisberg. In the ’80s VHS production style-inspired clip, the artist helps turn disaster into dancing, with help from a nutritious donut and two cans of Old Style beer.
The white Cadillac Brougham used in the shoot is also allegedly for sale, so fans are encouraged to call 888-FROM-BON and leave voicemails there for Vernon and Weisberg, who will respond to some of them.
“From” can be found on Bon Iver’s latest Jagjaguwar album SABLE, fABLE and boasts guest turns from Mk.gee and Jacob Collier plus production assistance from Jim-E Stack and Tobias Jesso Jr.
Vernon is committed to not touring in the near term in support of SABLE, fABLE, but told an invite-only crowd at an April promo event with Todd Snyder that he will return to the stage at some point.
“I’m not saying I’m not ever going to tour. I’m definitely going to play shows of some kind again. I want to be out there and I want to do that whole thing,” he said. “But I think taking the license to decide that something’s not for you is another one of those things. It may be painful and strange to not do the thing that’s expected of you or that other people who are successful do, but I do think that’s a little bit of that Midwest ethic. I grew up never expecting to have the kind of career I have now. I was hoping that I could hawk CDs out of the back of my Honda CR-V and go home to my little house with a wife and kids. It hasn’t turned out that way, but when you make those hard decisions, they bring rewards.”
