Violinist and composer Sarah Neufeld, who you probably know from her work with Arcade Fire, is all set to release a new album of minimalist, neo-classical compositions in May on the great Paper Bag Records. Check out the haunting and beautiful opening track "Stories" below and pre-order the "Detritus" LP here.
Here's another one of those records from last year that for some reason or another completely fell off my radar. Saxophonist Colin Stetson and violinist Sarah Neufeld (of Arcade Fire) create complex and breathtaking compositions, the two instruments pulsing and throbbing against each other, fingers massaging your cranial cavity, the sounds pushing you further in, a fantastic inner journey. It's almost overwhelming. Listen to "The Sun Roars into View" below and get the "Never Were the Way She Was" LP from Constellation Records.
