Volcano Choir Release First Single “Byegone”

Volcano Choir previews first single "Byegone" from "Repave" out September 2 on Jagjaguwar

Volcano Choir’s “Byegone” is an anthem that rises and churns like the sea – an exemplification of what’s possible at the intersection of plush, thoughtful instrumentation and a signature vocal performance. The sound of their collaboration is in lockstep – writing together in real time, providing each other feedback face-to-face, and occupying live stages in front of fans.

“Byegone” is the first single from Repave, the second album by Wisconsin band Volcano Choir, out on Jagjaguwar on September 3rd in North America and on September 2nd in Europe. Volcano Choir will tour for the first time in North America this fall; tour dates in both the Midwest and on the East Coast are listed below!

BYEGONE

day dead bye-gone

laying near the lights of the knights of the northern lodges

there’s a border road

no one slip slides or is stoppin’

and the neighborly, sleeping in a coffin

with enough keif

you could really bore someone

took a rat trap out to the Ache Inn

we were drinking all the ways to down

door ‘as wide open

you know what were saying ‘bout us now

he’s a legend

i’m a legend

and we both go tripping thru the door

well, YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE NORTHERN, NOW

i heard you promise me

at the north end of monogamy

cut there from filament lead

somewhere i heard you scream:

for others’ hearts

and in the limiest of lights

hold the keys to a Cuban flight that you won’t ever ride

it’s time to up and die

set sail!!!!!

set sail!!!!

hon, you plenty competent

so why aren’t you confident

it’s softening to be softening

then why are you so constant then?

are we going on a coat ride?

well, were off and definitely stumbling

tossin’ off your compliments, wow

sexing all your Parliaments
