Bon Iver's first single in four years is a reflective reminder of the spiritual effects of their work. "SPEYSIDE" is a hauntingly beautiful rose.
Bon Iver has always been a ghost, a wisp in the valley, a wraith of guitar and voice. "SPEYSIDE" is an invitation to sit at their fire again and listen to their tales. It's an intimate, guitar-heavy, soft folk track with that classic indie Bon Iver sound—the roominess, the beautiful emptiness, all covered in a soft cloth of care.
"SPEYSIDE" is intimate magic.
