Bon Iver going on indefinite hiatus

Tim Karan on 10/14/09 @ 12:38 PM

Earlier this week, indie-folk outfit Bon Iver announced at a show in Milwaukee that the full band would be going on hiatus until at least next year. Frontman Justin Vernon told the crowd at the show that it would be the last one for an indefinite period of time, but promised to have "at least three more songs" in the works. Vernon has been working with guitarist Chris Rosenau on an experimental folk band called Volcano Choir. Bon Iver's latest release is the Blood Bank EP, which dropped last January.
