1:17:36Now PlayingJustin Vernon, the frontman and creative engine of Bon Iver, earned two 2026 Grammy nominations in alternative music categories for his latest album, “Sable, Fable.” Before the album came out in spring 2025, Vernon described it as a moment of reinvention in an interview with Popcast hosts Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli.
Vernon explained how his fast success led to unexpected opportunities — including collaborations with Taylor Swift, Charli XCX and Zach Bryan — but also emotional depletion. It took him years of anxiety and inner turmoil to turn this feeling around.
