Bon Iver 'Blood Bank Live'

Bon Iver have shared the remaining three live recordings that will appear on Blood Bank (10th Anniversary Edition). Out March 27 on Jagjaguwar, the reissue backs each of the EP’s seminal four songs with new renditions captured across various stages, a decade after their debut. New liner notes by Ryan Matteson recall both the “dangerous, challenging, genuinely trail-blazing” feelings that these songs first evoked, and the boundless evolution of Bon Iver that ensued.

In partnership with Ambient Inks, Bon Iver have also announced a new initiative that will donate 10% of all the band’s merch sales to those affected in Wisconsin by the COVID-19 crisis. Running through April 10, the initiative will benefit Feed My People and the Chippewa Valley Artist Relief Fund. Ambient Inks will be donating 100% of their share of webstore proceeds.

Bon Iver is also launching a preorder for a Blood Bank anniversary crewneck sweatshirt to coincide with the merch initiative and reissue. All items are available here
