Volcano Choir – UNMAP

  • October 19, 2009

Bon Iver’s debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago put Justin Vernon on the map with his much-feted folk album. So fans may be surprised to hear Volcano Choir, an experimental side project between Vernon and fellow Wisconsin band, Collections of Colonies of Bees. What they have created with Unmap may surprise Bon Iver fans, but hopefully they won’t be deterred from the sparse lyrics and lack of hooks. These songs – using Vernon’s vocals as a mood-setting component rather than the focus – are full of dreamy harmonies and disjointed sounds that slowly get under your skin. – Written by DBosket
