Tour de force. Maelstrom. Muscular virtuosity... and other phrases commonly used by music critics are fuzzy far off smoke signals when trying to describe the blanket of holy shit sound this man's saxophone throws over you. Colin Stetson's new album New History of Warfare Vol. 2: Judges is just solo sax. A combination of clicking of pads to loop percussive effect, circular breathing, throat singing, and magick are employed to make this no overdub, no looping pedals, mostly first take album that seems like it's a direct transmission of the unified field.
