Four years after the release of the first Volcano Choir album, Unmap, it offered a glimpse into the collaborative process between the lead singer and the band. The ideas were generated, written separately, and then brought to life in the studio. The final product showcased the craftsmanship of the musicians, and the technology used to produce it. Unmap aimed to find the emotional connection between the digital and the human world, presenting a carefully constructed narrative that guided the listener through a journey, like a guide leading explorers through a cave with only sound and touch as their senses. The album brought the band together and inspired them to form their own unique sound, to achieve their goals, tour the world and share their music with their fans.

The new album, Repave, brings Volcano Choir’s musical vision into sharper focus. The glitchy, hesitant style of their previous work serves as both reference and departure in these eight new songs. The album reflects the band’s growing conviction and trust in their sound, revealing them to be a fully operational rock band, adept in shading, nuance, and power. The album showcases the evolution of the creative process, where electronic and acoustic instruments are intertwined with the tech and timbre of the human voice. Repave is the sound of confident musicians reaching anthemic peaks, while also revealing moments of vulnerability, where they let the music stand for itself.
