Late last month, Volcano Choir released their debut album Unmap on Jagjaguwar. Volcano Choir is Justin Vernon of Bon Iver and Milwaukee band Collections of Colonies of Bees. The original recordings of Unmap actually date back to before Vernon even began to mix and master For Emma, Forever Ago, his Bon Iver debut. While it may not be creating the kind of buzz that Vernon got in 2007 with the release of For Emma, it is still garnering a lot of attention and respect, having been featured recently on both All Songs Considered and Pitchfork. Definitely worth looking into if you’re a fan of Vernon, his vocals on this album are superb.
