Posts about Volcano Choir written by Ben. What a weird fucking year for music. What looked good on paper sadly translated into the not-so-impressive on the ears: 2013 was the year that everyone released an album; 2013 was also the year that everyone flopped. Let’s look at the many notable names in music that missed their mark in 2013: Phoenix, Youth Lagoon, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Deerhunter.

Music Reviews: Unmap by Volcano Choir released in 2009. Genre: Experimental.

AllMusic Review by Jason Lymangrover.. Daniel Spack, and Thomas Wincek to back him up in a side project titled Volcano Choir. The name is a fitting description of the band's sound, which is at times hushed and introspective, and at other times explosive with epic, anthemic harmonies. 2013's Repave picks up where 2009's Unmap left off.

More explosive than 2009’s Unmap,. Like the National, Volcano Choir drapes its indie rock anthemry over unusually sharp and interesting drumming. Here’s its Jon Mueller, an intense and brilliant percussionist, one of the few drummers able, really, to carry a solo album. In Repave, Mueller seems to have moved slightly forward in the mix, not dominating, certainly, but putting his mark on.

Volcano Choir: mysterious and celebratory It’s surprising how a singer with as little obvious presence or charisma as Justin Vernon can carry a live show, but he does. The power is in the otherworldly voice, and haunting songs with mysterious lyrics, carried on a wall of sound in the tradition of those “little symphonies for the kids” that Phil Spector pioneered half a century ago.

Last year, my Nr. 1 album of the year was Volcano Choir’s Repave. Tiderays was one of many standout tracks. They now gave it an official video. Enjoy. Leave a comment.

The Volcano Choir song that caused us to take notice is “Byegone.” The song covers a significant area along the spectrum from simplistic to complex. And we enjoy the visits to each area. For example, at the 1:04 mark in the song, there is a transition to just a simple guitar work and vocals. The vocals are simple, but the lyrics have a power. Starting at the 2:10 mark, the power and.

Because of course, that's what he did, forming Volcano Choir and releasing the difficult, shifting—yet sometimes beautiful—Unmap in 2009. That album was compiled in fragments sent via email, each part recorded in isolation. It sounded that way, with COCOB contributing their familiar blend of brisk guitar loops and ambient textures while Vernon attempted to find himself space in which to.

Volcano Choir Unmap Hannah Gregory, October 2nd, 2009 06:02. Unmap is a collective, free-folk affair; a speculative, free-fall communion. The product of a November weekend’s musical activity at a place called Fall Creek in Wisconsin, Volcano Choir have created a sound document that reflects their surroundings. Sliding up the volume dial, you imagine a Little House in the Big Woods setting.

Justin Vernon of Bon Iver has a side project!Judging by the sound of their soon-to-be-released album Unmap, Volcano Choir brings a fuller, more enjoyable sound to what was an already original and interesting setup by Bon Iver.Though Vernon carries the vocals throughout the album, he is joined by Collections of Colonies of Bees, a group of fellow-Wisconsinites with whom he began collaborating.

With Volcano Choir, his years-in-the-making collaboration with Milwaukee post-rock instrumental band Collections Of Colonies Of Bees, Vernon embraces full-blown abstraction on the willfully difficult Unmap. Fans of For Emma might think he’s lost the songs in the process—only the bubbling “Island, IS” is satisfying in a traditional, pop-friendly sense. The rest of the record consists of.

Volcano Choir is a curio for Bon Iver fans and fine on its own to even those without knowledge of Vernon’s other group. Our Music Year is Daily Republic popular culture writer Nick DeCicco’s yearlong online review in 2012 of albums he had previously not listened to. The reviews will appear in print on their corresponding days during 2013.

You can hear it in the care and real love generously applied to each moment of 'Unmap'. with the vibe of some intimate backwoods gospel, plus a spirit of patience and thoughtful repetition, the music of Volcano Choir is as dynamic as it is lovely. Luscious, experimentative, and playful, Volcano Choir's 'Unmap' is some of Vernon's most compelling work to date. Far from a sequel to Bon Iver's.

Volcano Choir is the side project of Bon Iver member Justin Vernon and his fellow Wisconsinites Collections of Colonies of Bees. At first it could seem that this is nothing more than a mere collaboration of fun, but after you dive it you’ll really get the feel for it. The concept behind Volcano Choir was just to make some earthy, atmospheric and ambient music. Justin had stated there wouldn.
