Bon Iver doesn't appear on this song (unless...?).

Lyrics

You're releasing an album
named after my cat
just running victory laps around me
Seems like your festival went dark
How does that Kanye collaboration
look on your resume now
We can draw a line down the Driftless region
This state's big enough for more than one double-tracked sad sack indie guy

Bon Iver
I'm ready to set aside this one-sided beef
I'm champion grudge carrier but life is too brief
We're in this together whether you know it or not

In Dutch to annoy is a reflexive verb
something you do to yourself
not the action of another
This is just basic grammar at work
and I probably read in too much
maar ik probeer mij niet te ergeren

(chorus)

All the years I negged you on Twitter
you probably didn't spare me a thought
It goes both ways, I never bothered to listen
to your songs until today
and ya know, your style isn't that far off from the kind of thing I like

(chorus)

Immediately drawn in by that title! Love the dreamy echo / reverb on the vocals here, sounds great over the piano. Lyrics are sharp and witty, made me smile.

rather liked the line "We're in this together whether you know it or not", this
is such a . . . beautiful little ditty.

Kind hope they here this and respond . . . in song
