Bon Iver’s 2009 EP Blood Bank will get a 10-year anniversary reissue, complete with a live recording of each track featured on the EP.
The first of the live tracks, “Blood Bank” from Stockholm’s Ericsson Globe on Halloween 2018, was released today (Jan. 21) on YouTube. The audio recording comes complete with an animated version of the reissue’s cover art.

Bon Iver are currently nominated for several Grammy Awards for i,i, including Album of the Year, Best Alternative Music Album and Best Recording Package. “Hey, Ma” is also up for Record of the Year.
