Colin Stetson - New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light (2013)


Colin Stetson is a experimental full body saxophone player. his multiple microphone solo recordings give this instrument texture, grit, rhythm, and space be a true musical experience.Everything is recorded with no overdubs with is something i didn't completely believe until i saw him live. New History Warfare Vol. 3 doesn't grab me as much as Vol. 2 but it does feel like a continuation. The guest vocals of Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) gets to be a little to much for me as his vocal melody is so similar to colins but just that bit more whiny, but if you are a big fan of the guy you'll love it. I personally prefer the tracks with him.
