New Bon Iver (Sort Of)
Posted by

Are you like me? Did you select Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago as your favourite album of 2008? If so, then you'll most likely dig the Wisconsin singer/songwriter's new side project.
Titled Volcano Choir, the band unites Bon Iver, aka Justin Vernon, with Collections of Colonies of Bees, the frustratingly-long-named Wisconsin quintet.
"Island, IS" is the band's first single off the forthcoming Unmap LP. Certainly more avant-garde than anything heard from Bon Iver before, P4K claims the sample-heavy tune is Four Tet-esque, but my ears hear similarities to Bird Show with shadows of Animal Collective.
Either way, its refreshing to know Vernon's experimental side can produce something good, as opposed to the auto-tune awful "Woods".
