Justin Vernon/Bon Iver's Side Project

2009-06-25 by PuddleSwimmer | 35 Comments
Justin Vernon of Bon Iver opens up about his new experimental side-project called Volcano Choir.

According to a quote from Vernon's record label, JagJaguWar, the band is an "assembly of Wisconsinites Jon Mueller, Chris Rosenau, Jim Schoenecker, Daniel Spack, Justin Vernon, and Thomas Wincek. You might find these old friends also frequenting records and stages under different monikers, Collections of Colonies of Bees and Bon Iver."

Vernon comments, "I sing on it, but there aren't a lot of lyrics. It's mostly choir stuff. It's definitely more on the experimental side of things. It's all really textural and landscape-y."

Volcano Choir's debut album was already recorded in November of 2008. The record is called Unmap and will be released on September 22nd.


Track Listing::

1. "Husks and Shells"
2. "Seeplymouth"
3. "Island, IS"
4. "Dote"
5. "And Gather"
6. "Mbira in the Morass"
7. "Cool Knowledge"
8. "Still"
9. "Youlogy"

bon iver's is just a alias for justin vernon, so it's not really a 'member' when he's the only guy

ya I'd much prefer new Bon Iver, its like with the Gorillaz, they have something good going then they have to change all that for some dumb side project. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

most ppl don't know who he is, but they know Bon Iver now. it's not like trent reznor where everyone knows his name.

And i think there are more than a few hundred lazy ppl on this site, so
