Constellation Records’ solo artists Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld have joined forces on a new album of original compositions for horn and violin. The LP Never were the way she was will be released on April 28th via Constellation Records.

Colin Stetson has developed a unique voice as a performer/composer, mainly on bass and tenor saxophones. Recent work, includes his New History Warfare trilogy. The solo violin work of Sarah Neufeld has emerged more recently, and especially through 2011-2014, in the period between her primary band Arcade Fire’s last two albums; she’s forged a distinctive and evocative solo violin practice combining rock, folk, ambient and modernist sensibilities, culminating with her debut solo album Hero Brother in 2013.
