Before Justin Vernon started Bon Iver, and Brad Cook, Phil Cook, and Jon Westerlund started Megafaun; and Chris Porterfield started Field Report; all five of them played together in the band DeYarmond Edison. The band gained a lot more attention after the success of the members’ subsequent projects, and they went on to reunite to play Fader Fort at SXSW 2011 and record a song with Bruce Hornsby for The National’s Grateful Dead tribute album that came out in 2016. Now, the band is putting out Epoch, a 5LP, 4CD box set including DeYarmond Edison’s album Silent Signs, Justin’s CD-R solo album Hazeltons, recordings by pre-DeYarmond Edison band Mount Vernon, several live recordings, multiple other collaborative and solo recordings from DeYarmond Edison members, and more. It also features a 114-page story on the band. It’s due out August 18 via Jagjaguwar (pre-order).
Today, they released two songs from Hazeltons, including “Hazelton,” a song that contains elements of what would later become Bon Iver’s “Holocene,” and “Liner.” Listen to both below.
Previously, they released DeYarmond Edison’s “As Long As I Can Go” and Justin Vernon & Phil Cook’s “Feel the Light.” Listen to those below too.
