Colin Stetson – “High Above A Grey Green Sea”

Saxophone avant-gardist Colin Stetson is gearing up to release a new full-length this April through Constellation, and it’s no surprise that the title is New History Warfare Vol 3: To See More Light. This Warfare series is really growing to become modern music’s most interesting exploration of horn music, and this next LP should be an interesting installment due to some contributions from Justin Vernon and what’s going to be Stetson’s longest song to date–according to CoS.

Stream the first track to drop from this new LP via the widget above, “High Above A Grey Green Sea.”

Colin Stetson- “Those Who Didn’t Run”

Some twisted and eerie visuals coming through on this new music video for Colin Stetson’s “Those Who Didn’t Run,” which is a track from an EP that definitely would have made it into my top-15 EPs of 2011 if I had decided to extend the list out a bit. Still, the album this dude released before that is absolutely killer. Grab Stetson’s music on Constellation Records.

New Colin Stetson EP

I’ve seen saxophonist Colin Stetson live twice this year. I’ve bought his new album, I’ve reviewed it very positively, and I post about him an awful lot. Am I a fanboy yet?

Seems the guy will be dropping a new EP on October fourth via Constellation Records.

The release will feature two new tracks that will last ten minutes each. Of course, they’re recorded and performed in the same single-take, multi-microphone fashion that songs on New History Warfare Vol. 2 were.

There’s an excerpt of the track “Those Who Didn’t Run” above.

Colin Stetson Does Daytrotter

A few days ago, Daytrotter uploaded a session with TND’s favorite saxophone player: Colin Stetson. Click here to hear it.

If you haven’t seen or heard the guy, do so as soon as possible. He’s an absolute beast, and an amazing soloist.

The guy’s latest record is New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges. Watch a full review of it here.

Colin Stetson- “Judges” ‡ STREAM

Saxophonist Colin Stetson has brought his raw talent to the stage and studio for a lot of bands and musicians, including Arcade Fire, Laurie Anderson, Bon Iver, David Byrne, Tom Waits, and the list goes on.

On 2/22, he’ll be releasing his third album, which is a sequel to 2008′s New History Warfare Vol. 1. Look for it on Constellation Records.

On the album’s title track, Colin uses absolutely no effects, loops or overdubs. WHAT!?!? Laurie Anderson even has the final word on this track, too. Oh, the wailing, the layers, the insanity. My eyes are rolling into the back of my head, forgive me. I can no longer see what I’m typing.
