Collections Of Colonies Of Bees (Bon Iver) Giving on LP + Digital Download
Ignited by Chris Rosenau and Jon Mueller in 1998, Collections of Colonies of Bees has the power and scope to illuminate the bloom of indie rock history. Their discography spans Polyvinyl and Table of the Elements. They live a double life as Volcano Choir, their line-up intact along with the addition of Justin Vernon of Bon Iver as vocalist. They've been called rock, post-rock, art rock, electronic, instrumental and experimental. In between all those lines, and with the volume turned way way up, is the true definition of Collections of Colonies of Bees. Now they're joining Hometapes Records for the release of their new album, Giving. The pulse is set less than a minute into Giving, Collections of Colonies of Bees first album in three years. There's no foreplay, no small talk, just endless altitude. Their sixth full-length, the bona fide descendant of Customer and Birds, is a 4-song, 28-minute eruption. It's the crushing waves of Rosenau's guitar, the pelting rain of Mueller's percussion, the vaporous breaths of Thomas Wincek's piano, and the rhythmic fabric woven by Jim Schoenecker (electronics), Daniel Spack (guitar) and Matthew Skemp (bass). It's Collection of Colonies of Bees as themselves; the rigor, the emotion, the groove. For a band that's been described as "Rhys Chatham and Arnold Dreyblatt meet pop," Giving is a record that begs to reintroduce Collections of Colonies of Bees as architects of avant-rock. Giving will be released on multi-color vinyl and is packaged in a jacket featuring interior printing, a full color insert, download card and the raw porcelain sculpture work of Portland artist Cameron Stewart.
