New History Warfare Vol.3: To See More Light

by Colin Stetson

supported by

Rowdy Vandeventer What if Yanqui U.X.O. was recorded by 1 person with a saxophone? Turns out, it'd be pretty sweet. Favorite track: To See More Light.

Daria the Ancient One This, and all of Stetson's work since New History of Warfare Vol.1 is not just music. It's a mirror to a man's soul and his view of the world. And it seems to me, that there's one word to describe the world: Distress.
I cherry-pick my music, and haven't stumbled upon such a talent for years.

about

Colin Stetson established himself as an intensely original solo composer and performer in 2011 with the release of the widely acclaimed New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges, which ended up on countless year-end lists. Anyone who has seen Stetson in solo performance can attest to the stunning physicality of his circular-breathing technique and capacity to produce a seemingly impossible palate of multiple voicings simultaneously in real time.

New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light is the final installment in a trilogy of solo albums, again recorded live in single takes and again mixed by groundbreaking producer Ben Frost. Colin's membership in Bon Iver has also led to vocal contributions from Justin Vernon for this record, who appears on four songs, and whose voice constitutes the only overdubbing on the album.

New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light is the most cohesive and fully realized of Stetson's solo albums to date. It should reliably stand as the apotheosis of the New History Warfare trilogy, and certainly signals the full flourishing of Stetson's unique talents as both composer and performer, pressing his arsenal of virtuosic techniques into the service of vivid, impassioned and conceptually astute songcraft.
