  • A lot of people come to the music of Volcano Choir - and see concerts like this one - because of the band's lead singer, Justin Vernon, an artist better-known for his work as Bon Iver. But Volcano Choir isn't a Bon Iver side project. It's a completely separate creative force, and the group's songs sound like no one else's.
    On the night of this show, recorded live at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., the members of Volcano Choir made magic, sometimes with layered effects in real time on both vocals and electronics, and sometimes with something as simple and beautiful as an acoustic guitar. And just when you think a song has found a groove or a peak, it would build a little more and morph into something new.
    Volcano Choir has released two very different records. The first, Unmap, came out in 2009 and was an ethereal, mysterious collection of songs. The group's latest, Repave, is more song-based and sonically adventurous. Together, they made for a rich, transporting live experience. --BOB BOILEN

      I feel like Juston Vernon has moved on permanently. I found out about this band by accident when I randomly bought Repave at the record store because I liked the cover art. I've been in love with their short discography ever since.

    While the top comment suggests listening to VC isolated from Bon iver, I myself listen to VC as an extension of Bon iver, a new chapter if you will. Justin Vernon has been leaning further and further away from his snowy shacked For Emma. While so many don't like this shift in style(believe me I understand, for Emma is my favorite album from him), I very much support it as we can see just how wide a range of music Justin can produce for us. His lyrics alone are enough of a bridge between his projects to keep me eager to hear what he has in store. VC is very much the embodiment of Vernon's sonic exploration and I very much enjoy it.
