Bon Iver have not released a new album since the self-titled record in 2011. In a new interview with Grantland, Vernon cast doubts over the future of Bon Iver.

“I definitely care about the Bon Iver thing a lot,” he said. “But it’s kind of my thing and there’s only so much time you can spend with yourself before you just become an asshole.”

“I’ve been taking it really slow,” he continued. “I just think maybe I ran my course with being able to come up with new moments on the guitar.”
