Bon Iver + Collections of Colonies of Bees = Volcano Choir!!

Our friends from Collections of Colonies of Bees have put together what should prove to be one of the better albums of 2009 with their good friend Justin Vernon of Bon Iver fame. The first track was released to the public yesterday and it sounds fantastic featuring the swirling loops of the Bees and the always amazing vocals of Bon Iver.
