Volcano Choir explodes

Together, they are Volcano Choir, and their new album, “Unmap,” is streaming on NPR for a whole week before its release. It’s AWESOME, probably my favorite record of 2009.
Cocobees does what they do best — layers of repetitive sound, pretty melodies, odd-time structuring and unexpected hooks. Vernon uses his voice as another instrument, so no one in the so-called indie supergroup gets more star time than anyone else. I hope they tour this album; I can’t wait to hear them live. Listen to it here.
