Justin Vernon taking a break Bon Iver

Bon Iver's leader Justin Vernon expressed his will to "walk away" from the musical project. "I really feel the need to walk away from it while I still care about it", he explained, "and then if I come back to it – if at all – I'll feel better about it and be renewed or something to do that".

Asked the question about the current state of Bon Iver, Vernon answered: "Winding it down. I look at it like a faucet. I have to turn it off and walk away from it because so much of how that music comes together is subconscious or discovering. There's so much attention on the band, it can be distracting at times".

The band is currently on tour, but when the live dates will be over we might not be hearing much from Bon Iver for a while, in the future.
