Anyone thinking that Volcano Choir are going to be anything like
Bon Iver's FOR EMMA, FOREVER AGO just because Justin Vernon is
involved is in for a bit of a shock. Yes, Vernon's otherworldly
vocals grace most of the songs on UNMAP, but there are no real
songs to speak of, no hushed backwoods folk grandeur or
heartbreakingly soulful sounds. Instead, Vernon and his friends
from the post-rock band Collections of Colonies of Bees have
crafted a defiantly experimental album that relies on Vernon's
vocals as just another color in the paint box, not the main focus.
The tracks are largely free-floating post-rock jams that drift and
flow without great purposebut often sound intensely emotional, as
Vernon's massed vocal overdubs join together in a hurricane of
sound. The group also proves adept at conjuring up the dreamy,
almost dancy post-shoegaze sound of A.R. Kane or diving headfirst
into the kind of atonal modern composition Scott Walker favored in
the 2000s. The album reveals Vernon has not only the desire to
branch out but also the necessary skills.
