Volcano Choir "Comrade"

I am not really in a place in my life that I can listen to this song right now. Literally, I forgot my headphones and I am in an office building that is super quiet yet full of people. I am sure this is a good ass song though. If not let me know and I will delete it right away. Post haste even.

Volcano Choir "Byegone"

Oh hey, what's up? Here is this new song from Volcano Choir for you to hear. You can just keep it for as long as you want. I was done with it anyway. Well it was good seeing you, I guess call me if you want to hang out or anything, or don't you know, whatever (laughing). Ummm, well see you around. Bye.

Video: Volcano Choir - "Island, IS"

It's just kinda been a Justin Vernon type week here at the 'Stache. First there was the amazing Bon Iver concert last night and now we've got a video from Justin Vernon's other project Volcano Choir. I personally have really been enjoying Volcano Choir's debut album Unmap since it came out last week. And, it's not just me either, the album just recently got the "best new music" nod from Pitchfork. Out of all the songs on the album, "Island, IS" is easily the standout track and while I'm happy to see a video for it I wish they would've done a little more with it.

The album Unmap is available now on Jagjaguwar.

NEW MUSIC TUESDAY: MONSTERS OF FOLK, WHY?, VOLCANO CHOIR

Holy crap there is a lot of good shit coming out today. WHY?, The Big Pink and Girls are ALL going to be high on various internet weblogs "best of the year" lists and they are all coming out on the same day! Just crazy man...crazy.

If you absolutely HATE Target's guts you can order Pearl Jam's Backspacer from another country (via import).

Plus the Monsters of Folk and Volcano Choir are excellent choices for your end of summer black tar hash party's (what?). Check out the full list (aside from the ones I probably missed) after the break.

Stream New Volcano Choir Album Over At NPR

 

I've been giddily awaiting Justin Vernon's collaboration with fellow Wisconsin band Collections of Colonies of Bees since I first saw it was announced.  I've still got a week to go until its September 22nd release date but you and I can both stream the album in full over at NPR.   

Stream:  Volcano Choir, Unmap

mp3: Volcano Choir - "Island, IS"

Volcano Choir is the collaboration between Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver and fellow Wisconsin group Collections of Colonies Bees. The Wisconsin super group just released the first mp3 from their forthcoming debut album Unmap, which is out September 22nd from Jagjaguwar.

Personally, I'm very excited for any new material from Justin Vernon and can say that after a couple of listens to this new track I'm really psyched to hear the whole thing.

Volcano Choir To Release Debut LP

Up until recently I didn't really think anything interesting came from Wisconsin. That was until I heard Bon Iver's 2008 masterpiece For Emma, Forever Ago. Word is that Justin Vernon, aka Bon Iver, is currently working on a follow up to For Emma, Forever Ago in between summer gigs(sadly none of them happen to be in Phoenix), but in the meantime Vernon's side project, Volcano Choir, is set to release thier debut LP this September.

Volcano Choir is a collaboration of Wisconsin artists Justin Vernon and the band Collections of Colonies of Bees. I haven't heard any tracks from the forthcoming LP but from what I've read it sounds as if this will be something completely different from Vernon's previous work. Regardless, I can pretty much bet this will be something worth checking out when the album comes out on September 22nd via Jagjaguwar.
