May 31 street date. New transparent petrol coloured vinyl pressing of Colin Stetson's 2017 album, "All This I Do For Glory". The album is a reasoning and exploration of the machinations of ambition and legacy, an examination of the concepts of afterlife, and the first half of a doomed love story in the model of the Greek tragedies. Stetson ventures into territory both familiar and strange. Here still, is the dogmatically stripped down approach to performance and capture (all songs recorded live with no overdubs or loops) but there is an immediacy to the album that belies a more invasive and thorough miking of the various instruments being utilized and a seeming influence drawn from the early 90s electronica of artists like Aphex Twin and Autechre, evident in the more pointed role played by the instruments' many percussive elements. Engineered and mixed by Stetson himself, this album represents a decidedly independent approach across the entire creative process and finds him at the top of his game, both as a composer and instrumentalist as well as a producer.
September 13 street date. The love it took to leave you was recorded in over a week in a 144-year old foundry in Montreal, the latest opus by Colin Stetson is a molten collection of imagistic emotional voyages. Another chapter in a larger odyssey inscribed through every solo recording, new album is a story told through the singular melding of Colin’s breath and body, with an arsenal of saxophones and clarinet. The love it took to leave you features new ways of capturing Colin's music and instrumentation, intensifying his practice and to continue challenging the historical canon of the bass saxophone while crafting emotive, haunting and harmonically innovative music. Recorded at The Darling Foundry, a former metalworks facility in Montreal, now transformed into a 3500m3 contemporary art complex, with a voluminous main room that still maintains its raw architecture of brick, concrete and steel. Colin says “We were using the same live setup as I normally would to amplify—a full PA in the building’s spaces—so we were really able to move the kind of air that I can move—really saturating the room, hitting the walls hard. And then we further fleshed it out.”
