“Dirt dance” - new single from Colin Stetson and Brìghde Chaimbeul
New collaboration album out September 11 2026
Colin Stetson and Brìghde Chaimbeul announce new collaborative album All the light in the world, that feels both ancient and immediate. Built from deep listening, improvisation, and an instinct for emotional intensity, the record merges Stetson’s innovative approach to the saxophone with Chaimbeul’s singular command of the Scottish smallpipes, creating music that drifts between drone, ritual, and cinematic expanse.
Colin explains about first single “Dirt dance”, "Played on the F mezzo soprano saxophone and Brighde's Scottish smallpipes, this song is a joyous mathy weaving of melody and modulation, rooted in pulse yet free and floating as it builds to its liftoff. Seamount: Like Dirt dance, this song feels to me like describing an act of creating—simply and patiently billowing, drawing place and substance out of an emptiness, like magma pushing up through the depths to break the water's surface, emerging as an island alone in the expanse."
All the light in the world comes out September 11 2026 on Envision Records (North America) and Invada (ROW)
