\"Colin<\/a>Sax super-hero Colin Stetson<\/a> gets us every time with his extraordinarily staggering and powerful compositions. After teasing his new solo album, All This I Do For Glory<\/em>, with the sublime and breathtaking \u2018Spindrift<\/a>\u2019, Stetson got us even more excited offering a new track called ‘In the Clinches’. Here’s what he had to say about it:<\/p>\n

\n

“For those who have heard ‘Spindrift,’ this track is in all ways it’s antithesis. I always try to build into the arc of an album some point of juxtaposition, and this one is where that happens. Whereas ‘Spindrift’ is serenity and expanse, ‘In The Clinches’ is violence and immediacy. I wanted the experience of the song to be one of total immersion like the listener is inhabiting the instrument itself, hearing and feeling it from the inside out. There’s this hyper-realised, exaggerated character to the percussive sounds and a brute brashness to the sound of the horn. If ‘Spindrift’ is a memory of a peaceful past then ‘Clinches’ is the fear of a future of struggle. The present is that point of silence between the two.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

‘In the Clinches’ also comes with a live video shot and edited by Derrick Belcham. Watch it now.<\/p>\n
