Colleen — French composer Cécile Schott — talks to Harper Mahood about Libres antes del final, her new Thrill Jockey album written and recorded on a Moog Matriarch. With water flowing through it like an undercurrent, Schott reflects on overcoming a 30-year fear of swimming, the DIY life she’s built, and the loss of her father two days before release.
GALVEZTON is the one-man vehicle of songwriter Robert Kuhn, and on “Ocean Cabaret” he folds surf-streaked psych, folk and Gulf Coast dust into something all his own. These were the late-night kitchen songs his wife overheard and pushed him to release — recordings kept intentionally bare, foregrounding voice, guitar and the emotional grain of his writing. Music for healing.
Spell Songs return on 4th September with their third album, In Thin Air, out via Hudson Records. A musical companion to Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris’s The Book of Birds, it follows the “Seven Wonders” from nest to migration — a celebration of birdlife and a plea to halt its loss. First single “Flight” is out now, ahead of a September UK tour.
