Volcano  Choir’s  Repave  Review  by  Justin  Perich  October  9,  2013    Repave  -­‐  The  latest  from  Volcano  Choir,  a  team  effort  between  Bon  Iver’s  Justin  Vernon  and  the  members  of  Collections  of  Colonies  of  Bees,  is  even  more  layered  and  more  rewarding  than  their  first  record,  Unmap.  Beginning  with  the  hauntingly  beautiful  Holocene-­‐ish  fingerpicking  of  “Tiderays,”  the  album  certainly  channels  previous  efforts  of  those  involved–the  poetic  lyrics,  the  heartbreaking  falsetto,  pounding  bass,  blaring  guitars–but  it  really  carves  out  its  own  place  in  post-­‐rock  history  somewhere  near  the  climax  of  “Byegone”  and  doesn’t  relinquish  it  until  the  final  triumphant  moments  of  “Almanac.”  5/5  stars.
