Justin Vernon and his Bön Iver released one of the most memorable records in 2008. “For Emma, Forever Ago” had us all mesmerized with his emotional harmonies and amazing, yet puzzling lyrics. Now Vernon is teaming up with Collections of Colonies of Bees for his sideproject Volcano Choir. Vernon himself explains “it’s definitely more on the experimental side of things.” Their debut LP, Unmap is released 22nd september. you can pre-order the album here.

For the moment Bön Iver are working on a follow-up to  “For Emma, Forever Ago”. The expectations,will probably be skyhigh.

Here is Bön Iver performing most of their album on Vincent Moons Take Away Show. And its probably one of the best performances done for Vincent and Le Blogotheque. Wish I was there.
