Interesting CD Releases for Nov. 10

OK, so I see nothing interesting coming out this Tuesday. Two interesting local discs are hitting next week and have parties celebrating this week, but I'll save those for next week. Plus you'll start hearing plenty about them starting tomorrow anyway.

So I'm going to recommend you go buy a great record I forgot a few weeks ago. Volcano Choir is a collaboration between Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and excellent instrumental outfit Collections Of Colonies Of Bees, and their debut Unmap came out last month. Using Vernon's pricing croon as a texture over Collections' intricately constructed, prickly sound, makes for thrilling stuff. The highlight is the update of Bon Iver's "Woods" from earlier this year. The new "Stills" adds delicate synths to Vernon's echoing vocoder to make for a breathtaking build of beautiful sound.

Alright. That's all I've got. Come back next week for something that's actually new.
