Colin Stetson is a friend of ours. Since relocating to our Brooklyn shoals, he has toured with Antibalas, he recently performed solo at The Stone, and he has been and is a master of the iternerant gig and recording session. Previously, he recorded on a couple of Tom Waits' albums. And he's also performed with Sinead O'Connor, Burning Spear and Medeski, Martin, and Wood and Anthony Braxton.

He also has a solo joint coming out this May.

The Black Sounds consists of three members and one of them described it like this:

"It's me on cello + effects, a percussionist playing found instruments (Redhook trash) and a vocalist with effects, that also plays clarinet, bass, and guitar. So far we've been sad, in a dirty painful xiu-xiu-ie way more than a indie radiohead-ie belle and sebastion, emo way."

In the next sentence he tried to apologize for not making sense, but we know just what he means.
