''Repave'' is the second studio album by American indie rock band Volcano Choir, released on September 2, 2013 on Jagjaguwar. Recorded between November 2010 and March 2013, the album is self-produced by the band. Released to critical acclaim, the album reached number forty-eight on the UK Albums Chart. ==Background and recording== Volcano Choir began work on ''Repave'' in November 2010, choosing to record in the band's home state of Wisconsin. Recording would continue for almost two and a half years, with its eight songs changing throughout. Guitarist Chris Rosenau noted, "The kind of time that ''Repave'' took was by necessity, because of other projects and things that everyone had going on. As we started embracing those time periods off, we started letting these songs just sit in our brains and percolate through driving to work, or doing whatever we were doing." Multi-instrumentalist Thomas Wincek elaborated, "There were times while making this album when we lost the motherfucking plot big time - I think people actually said those words out loud. It was just getting so convoluted." Throughout the recording process, the band embraced sampling and effects, with guitarist Chris Rosenau stating, "We're not just sitting down at a piano and putting chords together. We're cutting up a sample for the verse and then processing some weird sound for the chorus - and then getting it to sound like a song."〔 Rosenau describes the album's tracks as "convergent evolutions".〔 Vocalist Justin Vernon did not perform any additional instruments on the album, instead choosing to focus solely on his vocals. Chris Rosenau noted, "() basically sang on fully fleshed-out songs, but we got to be there and bounce ideas off each other and laugh and cry and all this shit while he was doing these bananas vocal things that no one had ever heard before!"〔 Vernon praised the collaborative process of the band, stating, "I've developed this thing where I just ''need this band''. My body, mind, and heart lean toward Volcano Choir, like, 'Oh, yeah, I gotta see these guys. We gotta make some music.'"〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Repave」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
