Some of the first new Bon Iver music to hit since Justin Vernon released his brilliant debut LP what seems like forever ago is coming our way shortly. Woo!

The Blood Bank EP oozes into stores in the UK/Ireland January 19 and the U.S. January 20, all thanks to Jagjaguwar. The four song set will be available on either CD or download-coupon-boosted 12″, with the vinyl getting a little pre-release action at the merch tables at Bon Iver’s forthcoming December dates.

In addition to Vernon & co.’s previously reported run next month, they’ll tape an appearance for the David Letterman television program December 11 to be aired on or around that date, and make their way to Australia to ring in 2009.
