Bon Iver x Billy Van Creamy's SABLE SORBET Celebrates an Album Launch
Laura McQuarrie — April 14, 2025 — Marketing
The new Bon Iver album, SABLE, fABLE, is now out and so are tons of official brand collaborations, like Bon Iver x Billy Van Creamy's SABLE SORBET. This unconventional creation shares the taste of vegan-friendly salted olive oil and grapefruit sorbet topped with a sour charcoal jube. A non-vegan version of this collaborative sorbet is available from Billy Van Creamy, served with salmon roe. Visually and flavorfully, the album-inspired sorbet references the SABLE, fABLE album cover, as well as its bittersweet tracks.
Drawing inspiration from blockbuster movie campaigns, musicians are tapping into the power of collaborations and multi-sensory marketing to create immersive album launches. To (literally) offer fans a taste of a new era, Bon Iver dropped over two dozen collabs supporting the launch of SABLE, fABLE.
