Milan Records announces the June 5 release of BARKSKINS (NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ORIGINAL SERIES SOUNDTRACK) with music by GRAMMY® Award-winning saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and composer COLIN STETSON.  A highly-coveted collaborator to Bon Iver, Arcade Fire, Tom Waits, LCD Soundsystem, The National and more, Stetson brings with him an expansive body of work that includes both genre-defying, avant-jazz records as well as critically-acclaimed original scores for major film, television and game titles (Ari Aster's Hereditary, Red Dead Redemption 2).  Available for preorder now, the album features music written by Stetson for National Geographic's new eight-part limited series based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Annie Proulx.  Transporting viewers to the wild frontier of the late 17th century, BARKSKINS airs on National Geographic Mondays at 9/8c with back-to-back episodes over four weeks and next day release on HULU.

  • Colin Stetson's 'Reborn' makes UConn Daily Campus - 'spooky tunes for a spooky week'
    Posted At: October 27, 2020

    Based on the events from the past two weeks, the word "midterm" likely provokes flashbacks of absent guidance from professors and feelings of dread while opening LockDown Browser. Hopefully, most of us have survived by now. The end of October is arguably one of the best times of the year; a time when orange, black, purple, and green seem to be the only appropriate colors and ghosts and jack o'lanterns th...

Several of this year's releases, like Clarence Clarity's i...

  • Colin Stetson proves saxophones make everything better in Sarah Neufeld/Arcade Fire collaboration / CBC
    Posted At: July 19, 2020

    Depending on whom you ask, saxophone solos in songs are either badass or unbearably cheesy. And even though there are undoubtedly some examples that would fit the latter category, there are also plenty that belong in the former.  Saxophones are often associated with jazz, classical music and marching bands, but they also play an important role in modern rock, R&B and other genres with musici...
