Volcano Choir is a collaboration from Bon Iver front-man Justin Vernon and post-rock band Collections of Colonies of Bees. ‘Unmap’ is the fruit of this friendship – a blissful, bona fide collection of songs that will gently pry open your heart and let all that was once buried… resurface.
Not since Sigur Ros released ‘Me› su› í eyrum vi› spilum endalaust’ have I been so moved by music. It is ambient and experimental, folk and uplifting, but above all – deeply reflective. The mournful, yet hopeful voice of Justin Vernon soars with the Colonies of Bees and takes these songs to uncharted heights.

If you enjoy Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, or Do Make Say Think, then Volcano Choir’s ‘Unmap’ has the potential to become your new favourite record… But be prepared for it to change you.
