On December 17th, he will release Keyboard Fantasies Reimagined - a collection of songs from the now legendary album, re-worked and re-imagined by a collection of creative kindred spirits. The album features works by Bon Iver, Flock Of Dimes, Julia Holter, Arca, Kelsey Lu, Blood Orange, Joseph Shabason and Thom Gill, Jeremy Dutcher and Ana Roxanne.
Flock of Dimes’ Jenn Wasner on “Ever New”:
It was an honor to work with Justin (and many other talented folks!) on this re-imagining of “Ever New" for
Transgressive’s Keyboard Fantasies Reimagined. I’ll never forget the first time I heard Glenn’s version of
this song—it instantly felt deeply familiar, strikingly beautiful, simple and pure. Over the years I have
returned to it repeatedly in moments when I need to be soothed, and it always acts as an anchor amidst
life’s uncertainties. “Ever New" is a timeless classic, and it’s an honor to have played a small part in ensuring
its continued appreciation by many generations to come.
