Colin Stetson reveals details on third and final New History Warfare album, plots world tour

Canada has produced many a fine thing, such as You Can’t Do That on Television, high-stacked burger challenges, maple syrup, a functioning healthcare system, funny accents, and of course, Colin fucking Stetson, bursting blood vessels out of his straining neck as he fires heavy breaths into his enormous sax for your listening pleasure. And this Canadian is making his solo comeback this spring with New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light, due out April 30 on Constellation.

As with the last installment of the Warfare series, the new LP was recorded live in single takes, with guest vocals — this time contributed by Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, with whom Stetson plays with in Bon Iver — being the only overdubs. The whole shebang was mixed by Australian-gone-Icelander Ben Frost. Check the release page for more details and to preorder on CD or double-LP.

Take a listen to the album’s third track, “High Above a Grey Green Sea,” via Constellation’s SoundCloud and then clean yourself up, because this awesomeness may give you the squirts.
