Piñata is the title track from volcano!'s upcoming release on June 12th. http://volcanoisaband.com/
Not less than a month ago I brought you the title track from the new record, Pinata , by Volcano! , so I'm happy to offer up another fun track that I know you're going to enjoy. It's still a little bit off-the-beaten-path pop, using tight guitar work as the backbone of the song. I swear there's a moment in the song when Ted Leo makes an appearance, but that's just wishful thinking. It doesn't even matter, as there's a shaky quality here, but also a soaring pop element that is crafted [...]
(Ed.'s note: We're going to try something new and switch up the format of Daily Diversions. Instead of the three reason lists, the new format will feature a more focused look at a singular Chicago act on the bill.) Volcanoes Make Islands , which features ex-members of Company of Thieves and Tom Schraeder and His Ego, first caught our attention with their genre-bending 2010 Release, Sick City . On the EP's first half, the band conjure up noisy post- punk - much of which is [...]

Dntel – Bright Night [mp3] (from Aimlessness , out June 5 th ) Electronic artist and producer Jimmy Tamborello continues to deconstruct and reassemble music and beats to the delight of weirdoes and iconoclasts (myself included). His music as Dntel is very different from The Postal Service collective (with Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie ), but could still win over some converts of conventional electro-pop. Volcanoes [...]

Following up the trio's 2008 release, Paperwork , Piñata was nearly four years in the making and finds the volcano! refining their melodic and ferocious art-rock approach that are taken up a notch by crooked but accessible grooves. On the influences behind Piñata , Frontman Aaron With states via a press release, "They're [...]
Beginning with an odd stutter-step propulsion, this new track from Chicago's Volcano! moves into a space occupied by few in the indie spectrum. The group's combination of electronics and off-kilter timing makes for a hard pill to swallow; it's immediacy is not apparent, but repeated listens find you warming to the spastic pop gem. The group are set to release Pinata , their third record, on June 12th via the Leaf Label , and it's shaping up to be a listening experience you aren't [...]
Almost 4 years in the making, Chicago trio volcano! has delivered the long-awaited follow-up to 2008's celebrated Paperwork album. Their outstanding 3rd offering, Piñata, which will be released June... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
This jarring beauty of an off kilter alt-pop tune comes courtesy of Chicago's volcano! It's called Piñata and it's the title track of the band's third album, which is out on June 12 via Leaf .
Initial exposure to Illinois art-rock outfit volcano! is a little like your first beer: irrespective of first impressions, you'll remember it for the foreseeable and it may well induce some latent addiction that's instinctively awoken by the scent of the trio's every return. Personally much of my adolescent interpretation of contemporary music was instructed by the falling of Beautiful Seizure through gaping letterbox and down previously uninstructed lug holes and, having swung vigorously at Piñata (the lead single from the Chicagoans' third full-length of the same name) all through the night its fidgety synths that wiggle and writhe [...]

Looking through my Tumblr timeline I saw a post on MFR that St. Louis based Volcanoes and Afternoon Records had decided to release their debut album Heavy Hands for free…that's right, free ninety nine. Last year, when posting up the Volcanoes track "A Knife In The Dark" I said: Dark chocolate. That's what I hear when I listen to "A Knife In The Dark" by Volcanoes. It's rich, it's decadent, and it might make you a little fat. It could also make you ahead of the curve on [...]
