Volcano Choir is an American indie rock band hailing from Wisconsin. Formed in 2005, the band originated as a collaboration between *Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and members of Collections of Colonies of Bees. Known for their unique sound and captivating performances, Volcano Choir has gained a loyal following within the music industry.

Their music resonates with fans who appreciate artists such as S. Carey, The Tallest Man On Earth, and DeYarmond Edison. Drawing inspiration from a variety of genres, Volcano Choir's compositions showcase their versatility and creativity.

With influences ranging from folk to alternative rock, their discography includes hits like "Byegone" and "Comrade." Fans can expect powerful vocals combined with intricate instrumentals that create an immersive listening experience. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to their music, Volcano Choir is sure to leave you wanting more.

volcano choir is an assembly of wisconsinites jon mueller, chris rosenau, jim schoenecker, daniel spack, justin vernon, and thomas wincek. you might find these old friends also frequenting records and stages under different monikers, collections of colonies of bees and bon iver. the collaboration predates the meteoric rise of justin vernon's bon iver project, with original songwriting dating back to the summer of 2005, right around the time the bees first toured with vernon's previous band deyarmond edison. while entirely a studio record, the collection doesn't suffer from the overburdens of a digital pile up or over-thinking. rather it breathes and convulses in equal measure, radiating an inherent dynamism found only in the voluntary bondage of intimacy. with influences ranging from david sylvian and steve reich to mahalia jackson and tom waits, it might be more accurate to say the group's influence is music itself. you can hear it in the care and real love generously applied to each moment of 'unmap'. with the vibe of some intimate backwoods gospel, plus a spirit of patience and thoughtful repetition, the music of volcano choir is as dynamic as it is lovely. 'unmap' ultimately came together over a weekend in november 2008 in fall creek, wisconsin, at justin and nate vernon's recording studio. and while it is at its heart a record about the allure of being with people you need and making something with them, it is also a document created by musicians with rare gifts getting together to exorcise their ideas about beauty. this scaffolding of loops and off grid tempos for choral style vocals offers a state of continual surprise, call it unexpectation.
