Volcano Choir: Unmap (Bon Iver) Vinyl Record
Volcano Choir's Unmap is the debut collaboration between Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) and the experimental post-rock band Collections of Colonies of Bees — a record that pushes Vernon's falsetto into strange, beautiful new territory far from the folk-cabin intimacy of For Emma, Forever Ago. Released in 2009 on Jagjaguwar, it layers his voice over glitchy electronics, fractured rhythms, and dense instrumental textures.
"Island, IS" opens with a shimmering pulse that gradually reveals Vernon's signature vocal buried deep in the mix like a ghost signal. "Seeplymouth" builds from a quiet hum to an overwhelming crescendo, "And Gather" fragments words and melody into something approaching abstract art, and "Still" closes the album with a stunning moment of clarity. Unmap is essential listening for anyone who loves Vernon's voice and wants to hear it pushed into genuinely experimental territory.

Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.

Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
