Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon and the National’s Aaron Dessner relesed their debut album as Big Red Machine. The self-titled LP is set to come out August 31 via their PEOPLE digital platform, as well as on streaming services, vinyl, CD, and cassette in partnership with Jagjaguwar. Big Red Machineincludes the four songs that Vernon and Dessner released last month (“Forest Green,” “Lyla,” “Gratitude,” and “Hymnostic”). They produced the album together with frequent collaborator Brad Cook. Big Red Machine was recorded and mixed by Jonathan Low, mostly at Dessner’s Long Pond studio in upstate New York (where the National also recorded much of Sleep Well Beast).
