Justin Vernon must just have songs laying around.  Either that or he appreciates choral music?  Or maybe it’s just that he’s gotten wrapped up in the buzz about The Silver Lake Chorus and their choral arrangements of indie music.  Produced by Ben Lee, their debut album features original songs written especially for TSLC by indie artists such as Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Carl Newman (The New Pornographers), Aimee Mann, Sia, The Bird & The Bee, Tegan & Sarah, and Of Montreal.  They are led by artistic director Sam Rader and music director Mikey Wells.

The group is now self-releasing From The Snow Tipped Hills, written for them by Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, & Wreckage, written for them by A.C. Newman of The New Pornographers, both available online September 14.

Check out Vernon’s From The Snow Tipped Hills below as performed by The Silver Lake Chorus. Magnifique.
