Epoch is the story of DeYarmond Edison: Brad Cook, Phil Cook, Justin Vernon and Joe Westerlund, told as never before.
It’s a tale of community, vision, family, and a quartet that wanted to be too good to last. Rendered in maximalist detail, Epoch explores their saga while also telling a more universal tale: it explores and celebrates what everyone else is doing, making and building outside those cities that live under a microscope. It treats “small town shit” with the canonical care it deserves.
Epoch features:
- The full story and sonic history of DeYarmond Edison, the band that launched Megafaun and Bon Iver comprising Brad Cook, Phil Cook, Joe Westerlund and Justin Vernon.
- Five LPs
- Four CDs of exclusive live recordings capturing the band’s creative peak in 2006
- Remastered albums and never-before-released songs
- Exclusive digital content not available on streaming services
- Rare and never-before-seen photos
- A 120-page book featuring the complete history of DeYarmond Edison and the origins for Megafaun and Bon Iver, written by Epoch’s executive producer, Grayson Haver Currin.
- Hand-numbering and digital download card.
Scenes, especially the so-called small ones, are stitched together by the friendships and relationships that lock arms to build it. In this way, Epoch is also a friendship fable; “There’s a coming of age when it comes together,” describes Executive Producer Grayson Haver Currin, “and a coming of age when it breaks apart.” The epilogue is nice-to-have – where are they now, and so on – but it’s not the story. The story is the moment, which is the people, which is the friendships, which is the scene, which is the moment.
