Four months after sharing the Kacy Hill–featuring acronymic single “PDLIF,” Bon Iver is back with reinforcements for their second track of 2020: “AUATC” (which stands for “Ate up all their cake”) arrived with vocal contributions from Jenny Lewis and Jenn Wasner (who’s had a busy month between a new Wye Oak EP and her work on the new Madeline Kenney LP) with production credits for the band’s Justin Vernon as well as Jim E-Stacks and BJ Burton.
In lieu of the glitchy folktronica of its predecessor, “AUATC” recalls the roots rock of The Band, complete with a jaunty piano lining the chorus of voices (Bruce Springsteen also gets a vocals credit here). Hear the song below, and watch the video which features graceful moves from Randall Riley.
