Watch Volcano Choir’s Video for ‘Byegone’
Volcano Choir have revealed the brand new video for ‘Byegone’, the first single to be taken from the forthcoming album Repave, due out via Jagjaguwar on 2 September.
Directed by Japanese video artist Michinori Saigo (who also directed Volcano Choir’s Island, IS) the accompanying visuals for the track’s swelling instrumental expanse, momentous guitar refrain and distinctive vocals – courtesy of Justin Vernon – are available to watch here: http://www.vevo.com/
For Volcano Choir, Michinori’s films “capture the elements we often look for, but don’t know how to put into words. They’re evocative, symbolic, and interesting, without treading too far into concrete territory.”
Each of his videos tell a story, but they are stories that need to filter through each individual to reveal their meaning. They involve rhythm and a strong sense of flow, mimicking music and narrative, yet existing outside both mediums. It’s like the magic spell version of our songs. How do you find someone to make such things? You don’t. It’s nearly impossible to hire such understanding. And because of that, we’re so glad we became friends with Mitchi, a guy on the other side of the world, with different ideas and a different perspective that somehow captures exactly what we want to say.

Praise for ‘Byegone’
‘While 2009’s Unmap partly dwelled in experimental ambiance, new song ‘Byegone’ holds onto the atmosphere but adds uplifting guitars reminiscent of Broken Social Scene, up-front vocals that recall TV on the Radio, and rising choruses that bring Arcade Fire to mind’ Spin
‘Epic, shiversome and as lyrically unfathomable as ever’ NME
‘’Byegone’ reveals the band revelling in a more pronounced lush anthemic than ever before’ The Line of Best Fit
‘Vernon and co. sound as captivating as ever’ Notion
‘[Vernon’s] voice is lower and richer, and the song’s instrumentation trails the kind of straight-forward, masculine grooves most recently seen on The National’s Trouble Will Find Me. It’s a churning rock ballad, with a satisfying release, and a comforting fizzle-out – and, to be honest, it suits him’ Stereogum
‘Lushly beautiful’ NPR
