Bon Iver returns with a new song titled “Hey, Ma.” The band also released a second single titled U (Man Like).
“Hey, Ma” was produced by Chris Messina, Brad Cook, Justin Vernon, and BJ Burton. It features vocals from Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner and sampling by Psymun. The band also directed the audience to a cryptic website called icommai.com via the stage’s screen. The website leads viewers to a series of blog posts, the most recent of which lists a series of collaborators.
These include Moses Sumney, The National’s Bryce Dessner, Brad Cook, Psymun and Bruce Hornsby. The Hornsby reference may indicate Justin Vernon’s recent collaboration with the singer-songwriter on a track called “Cast Off.”
