As we’ve written repeatedly, Wisconsin’s Volcano Choir has a new album out entitled Repave, and it is roundly winning over critics and fans.  We will admit to happily having it on repeat at Chez Lefort.  The band, including Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), is out on tour now to spread the news.   We were excited to find out that the band and NPR had teamed up to graciously share a recent performance by the band at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C.  Watch below as the band and Vernon winningly layer on the emotion and effects (including the damnable vocoder–we ask you:  why would anyone with a voice as compelling as Vernon’s want to distort it?) on songs off of their first album and Repave.  Go HERE to check out Volcano Choir’s upcoming tour dates, including mid-January in California. And all brought to you with the band’s Midwestern hospitality and graciousness. Superb.
