Bon Iver found a place on many a year-end list in 2008 (including mine), even though For Emma, Forever Ago was technically self-released in 2007.
In a smart move of striking while the iron is hot, Justin Vernon will release the four-song EP Blood Bank on Jan. 20 via Jagjaguwar. The label released an mp3 (192 kbps) of the title track today but stated: “No promotional copies will be available until that time (Jan. 20).”
