We knew it was coming, we hoped it was soon, though we just didn't know when, but today Poliça have shared with us that their new album will be called Shulamith . It's the follow-up to last year's Give You The Ghost , one of our favourites of the year , and it'll be released via Mom + Pop this Autumn. They've also given us the violent new video for their track [...]
Poliça and Bon Iver's Justin Vernon collaborate for "Tiff", the first single from Channy Leaneag's new album "Shulamith." The music video is a heavy one.

City and Colour: The Hurry and the Harm - Dallas Green, former co-lead singer and guitarist of the Canadian post-hardcore band Alexisonfire , creates the kind of music that you’d expect to hear on a Bon Iver LP. I remember quite vividly when I first listened to ‘Save Your Scissors’ off City and Colour ’s 2005 debut album, Sometimes . His soothing, tenor voice jumped out at me, as I was pleasantly surprised at his range and clear talent. It might have been the stark contrast of not having to share a track that liberated [...]

This is just a quick reminder that one of the top indies in the game right now is Totally Gross National Product; a label that you didn't even realize was home to roughly five of your favorite acts right now. I'm a little late on the 2013 sampler -sorry guys I was sleeping- but nonetheless you can now stream it here. Contrary to the "Minneapolis Curse," which dictates that all regionally successful artists sans The Artist Formerly Known As Prince will fail nationally, the label's been excelling on a global level almost as rapidly as they did at [...]

Believe it or not, Mad Mackerel has been around for more than five years now. During that time we’ve posted more than 4,000 times, and offered more than 5,000 songs for your listening pleasure. And more than three quarters of a million people have paid MM a visit during our lifetime on Google’s (godawful) blogspot and since April 2010 on WordPress. We asked some of the regular MM contributors to give us their top twenty songs since MM first went live and we’re also going to give you one big mega-listing shortly, first up was Dr Roddy , [...]

Triangle and Seed are a Toronto-based electronic music outfit. They've got a new EP, Calgary , on the way. The title track incorporates elements of Bon Iver 's own "Calgary" song. Listen to "Calgary" here:

Wangel er et tomandsprojekt som startede i Januar 2013. Det består af Kasper Ejlerskov Leonhardt (keys, samples, beats,vokal) og Peter Wangel (guitar, elbas, leadvocal). Peter Wangel har i mange år bevæget sig i singer-songwriter genren men søgte en, der kunne give musikken mere energi og bredde. Kasper var interesseret, og sammen to de i sommerhus for at finde frem til en ny fælles lyd. Det kom der numrene Mysterious og Signs ud af, som lyder lidt som hvis When Saints Go Machine og Bon Iver fik et kærlighedsbarn. På begge sange brillerer Peter Wangels [...]
1146 miles might seemingly be the last music website to post this new song, but there was never any doubt that a Bon Iver doppelganger was going to be featured, was there? Still Parade's Actors has all the hallmarks of the famous Justin Vernon outfit in spades-male falsetto, atmospheric backing, and hazy perfection. Undoubtedly, the track is receiving attention because of the strong Bon Iver similarities, but I think it overlooks the musical ability to replicate such an intricate sound. If it were easy, there would be a lot more bands copying this particular branch of [...]
Covers are an interesting thing. A lot of times, they leave me feeling stupid and worthless as I tell myself I've discovered this great new band who instantly put out a classic, only to find it's a cover. But the silver lining to that feeling is that usually it means the cover was done right. The artist covering the material needs to bring an element of uniqueness to the original song in order to make it a bit of their own, but not a complete ripoff of the maker's creation. And when done right, it's a magical moment. Here [...]

Last year, the primordial pop culture soup belched up an abomination in the form of Lulu , a collaborative effort between Lou Reed and Metallica . It made no sense. There was no reason for it to exist, unless maybe it was made on a dare. So in the interest of making the universe feel like a place of order and sanity, here's a list of inevitable musical collaborations. These are songs, albums, and side projects that are not just good, but also make the world feel like a rational place to live. [...]

Volcano Choir , the side-project of Bon Iver leadman Justin Vernon's which sees him alongside post-rock outfit Collections of Colonies of Bees , will release their second album later this year. Repave will be released by Jagjaguwar on 2 September, follow-up to 20092s Unmap . They've released an album trailer for the release, available to stream under the tracklisting below: Tiderays Acetate Comrade Byegone Alaskans Dancepack Keel [...]
Justin Vernon é muitas coisas. Para além do seu falsetto gélido de atmosfera intimista, na pele de Bon Iver , passando pelo divertido disco, Grownass Man , com a sua banda de blues-rock The Shouting Matches e o seu toque de mestria no álbum de Colin Stetson, Vernon prepara-se para o lançamento de Repave . Volcano Choir , o ensemble de pop experimental nascido do casamento de Bon Iver com Collections of Colonies of Bees, apresenta o irmão mais novo de Unmap , o estreante de [...]

![VOLCANO CHOIR ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM AND FALL TOUR DATES [VIDEO]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4974531_lg.jpg)
Volcano Choir , the Wisconsin experimental collaborative project between Justin Vernon ( Bon Iver ) and Collections of Colonies of Bees , just announced a second record to be released on September 2, just shy of four years since their debut. Unmap has been a record that I've left and gone back to countless times due to its potently odd, delicious mixture of Vernon's voice, electronics, organics, and post-rock vibes. In short, Volcano Choir makes gratuitously sensational music, and we cannot wait to get our hands on Repave . Check out [...]
Contemporary folk fans rejoice. Justin Vernon's project Volcano Choir will be releasing a new album titled, Repave. Vernon began creating music with the Collections of Colonies of Bees and together they released 20092s Unmap under the band name Volcano Choir. Experimenting with pop melodies, the band is a departure from Vernon's music that he records under Bon Iver, however, his voice is still recognizable almost immediately in any of the bands music. The new album will be released at the end of summer on September 3rd. The post Volcano Choir To Release New Album (Teaser Video) [...]
About a month ago I read Zen and the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury. Mighty book, highly recommend it. Two of the best things I got out of it: 1. Try to write at least 1000 words a day. 2. Be inspired about whatever you're writing about. For a while I've been trying to [...]
