Speaking to Australian radio station, Triple J, Justin Vernon of Bon Iver said he may be done with the band and moniker that made him famous. He said, "I don't really write songs anymore. The last Bon Iver record was a very 'sitting down with a guitar and writing' kind of record. I really have to be in a specific headspace to even begin to illuminate an idea that would create another Bon Iver record, and I'm just not there." Now, his label Jagjaguwar is ending speculation telling Consequence of Sound, "Bon Iver is not over by any means. Justin isn't currently writing Bon Iver songs, but that doesn't mean he won't write them in the future. Bon Iver is off-cycle, and that is not new news. Right now Justin's concentration is on preparing for the Volcano Choir tour, the first date being in Chicago on Friday."
