Details

GIVING is the first music we've heard from Collections of Colonies of Bees since their joint project Volcano Choir with Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and the 2009 release of Unmap.

GIVING continues the intricate, virtuosic, and emotional dialogue begun by the band thirteen years and six records ago.

Collections of Colonies of Bees are connecting the dots between their rich history, their infinite influence, and the sheer joy of Rock.

The cover art features the low fire porcelain sculpture art of Portland, Oregon-based artist Cameron D. Stewart.

Band line-up for GIVING:

• Chris Rosenau (Pele)
• Dan Spack (Volcano Choir, Group of the Altos)
• Matt Skemp (Volcano Choir)
• Jon Mueller (Volcano Choir, Pele) (his last Bees record)
• Tom Wincek (Volcano Choir, Field Report) (his last Bees record)
