lol you can't repave an ocean, Vernon. Come now with your abstract thinking. It has no scientific basis in reality.

Not bad, but I'm starting to think Justin Vernon really isn't the genius we thought he was. There's just so much experimental, empty space. It gets old quickly.

With Repave, Justin Vernon proves that he doesn't have to release an album under the Bon Iver name for it to be a fantastic piece of art.

The album (and collective) move in the general movement of faux progressive indie music that is more interested in building atmosphere and smothering you with its raw emotionality than investing the same care and effort in the song-writing. Most of the album comes off as a drawn-out whine more than cohesive, structured songs. Amd for every truly haunting cuts like "Keel" or "Dancepack", there are those too up their own stylistic ass, yet still somehow not committed enough to avoid bland superficiality in tone (eg. "Acetate", "Byegone", or "Almanac"). It is like Typhoon or The Antlers, minus the conviction.

Yup, Volcano Choir is as I remember it: Justin Vernon with post-rock (and sometimes folktronica) antics. In its best moments, it conjures potent melodies that do not solely rely on Vernon's lyricism or voice. In its worst moments, it's generic indie shi that's still pleasant.

First two thirds are outstanding, but the last third is pretty underwhelming. Still, it should get its fair share of well-earned spins.

Goddamn it, Justin. I didn't plan to feel like this today.
