Come back next Thursday for a new flower and a new seed.

We’re pleased to announce the inaugural episode of Seed to Flower Thursday’s with volcano!, a weekly Youtube series that will shed light on the inspiration behind virtually every song off volcano!’s forthcoming release, Piñata, out June 12th on The Leaf Label. Each episode begins with an invitation into the musical laboratory of Aaron With, volcano!’s singer and lyricist, who explains that every song is like a flower, and like flowers, songs must begin as seeds. This never-before-used nature analogy further comes to life when volcano! then debut previously unreleased home footage and dramatic re-enactments of the moments in time that show the seeds, or moments of inspiration, that inspired each of their new songs. Having in past interviews refused to explain the meaning of their songs, these clips are an exciting new addition to the volcano! catalog, and are sure to serve as historical documents and invaluable glimpses into cultural, personal, political, and dietary influences that motivated that shaped the bands recordings. And most importantly, each video ends with a full stream of the new track in its entirety. Not since VH1’s Storytellers have music fans been given such a raw and truthful glimpse behind the curtain. Now, without further ado, the first episode...

We're excited to debut our new music video for our single Piñata (premiered today on SPIN.com and viewable here on YouTube) from the forthcoming album also of the same name. The video features us blindfoldedly stumbling through the woods and converging upon a beastly piñata. The ensuing death ritual is more surgical than your typical piñata execution, and the interior prizes include more than candy. We hope you enjoy the poultry center of this tale of revenge and summer picnicking. Piñata the album is out June 12th on The Leaf Label.

But before the album release, we'll be openly leaking all our new songs through a promotional tactic designed to sustain your attention from now through our June 12th release, and build your interest in purchasing our CD and vinyl merchandise! Therefore, on Thursday May 3rd, we begin our "Seed To Flower Thursdays with volcano!" web series. In the tradition of Kanye's GOOD Fridays, and Nicki Minaj's PINK Fridays, every "Seed to Flower Thursday", we'll debut one new song (the flower), and explore the events in our lives that inspired the song (the seed). The series is not unlike VH1 StoryTellers, except that instead of narcissistic monologues, we provide you with highly produced dramatic re-enactments of the moments in time that inspired our songs. At the end of each re-enactment, the flower will bloom — a free, streaming song for your enjoyment. Subscribe to our YouTube channel or like our Facebook page to be alerted when each new volcano! track blooms, and to witness the sometimes gruesome sometimes mundane origin stories of our music.
