The Tunnel And The Clearing

Description

The new album from French artist Colleen (Cécile Schott), well known for her releases on Leaf Records and Thrill Jockey. Colleen is a composer and artist of overflowing inventiveness. For two decades, Cécile Schott, under the name Colleen, has been creating welcoming, enchanting, and disconcerting music. The timeless compositions of the multi-instrumentalist and singer use carefully selected tools to shape memories into transcendent splendor. In The Tunnel and the Clearing, Schott is both the most vulnerable and the most confident, invoking contemplative and swirling organs processed by analog electronics, steady syncopations of drum machines, and her distinctive voice. On an album centered on processing complex emotions through tribulations and revelations, Colleen presents a vision of breathtaking clarity.
