And I needed it to sound a little radical to feel good about putting something out in the world. I think it’s that thing of wanting to bash things apart a little bit and break through some stuff. In addition, Vernon discussed the album’s departure in sound:

That little bit “wild wild wild heart,” that’s that sample. There’s this beautiful YouTube of her singing and someone offstage singing harmony. It’s just her warming up in 1981 getting her hair did and singing her song “Wild Heart,” which in my opinion was never properly recorded. It’s from my favorite YouTube video of all time.

Mostly didn’t want to get asked about working together when we didn’t work together. She requested that we not talk about it in the liner notes.

And at the press conference last night, as Pitchfork reports, Vernon explained why he used it and why it’s not officially credited: When Bon Iver’s new single “10 d E A T h b R E a s T ?” arrived a few weeks ago, many recognized a sample from a popular YouTube video of Stevie Nicks singing “Wild Heart” backstage. Last night, Vernon held a press conference to debut the official studio version of the LP, inviting journalists to Eau Claire, Wisconsin’s unopened Oxbow Hotel to hear it and participate in a 90-minute Q&A session. Bon Iver performed their upcoming album 22, A Million in its entirety at Justin Vernon’s Eaux Claires Festival last month.
