Is Bon Iver calling it quits?

Bon Iver is essentially one guy—Justin Vernon—and a band he’s assembled around that name, and while it’s all speculation at this point, a new interview suggests that Vernon could indeed be intending on taking a break from Bon Iver. Or maybe even music.
His response to a question about what’s next for Bon Iver:
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. I really feel the need to walk away from it while I still care about it. 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.
It’s possible he just wants a break before making something new but IT SOUNDS GRIM, maybe. Are you ready to say goodbye? What else would you like to see Justin Vernon work on? [via The Current]
