Thrill Jockey

Colleen is French multi-instrumentalist Cecile Schott, who uses her voice and the treble viola da gamba to weave intricate stories about the human mind and heart. She first discovered the viola da gamba at 15 years old in the film Tous les matins du monde, where its sound resonated deeply with her. Inspired by African music from different countries, genres, and eras, Schott tunes the instrument like a guitar and plucks it instead of bowing it traditionally. This unique approach opens up a new world of sound that she explores in great depth on Captain of None, an addictive and unconventional pop album.

Thrill Jockey is an American independent record label that was established in 1992 by Bettina Richards, a former A&R representative at Atlantic Records. Originally based in New York City, the label relocated to Chicago, Illinois in 1995.
With over two decades of experience, Thrill Jockey has become a prominent force in the music industry. Known for its diverse roster of artists and commitment to artistic integrity, the label has consistently released groundbreaking and innovative music across various genres.
Thrill Jockey's catalog includes a wide range of critically acclaimed albums from both established and emerging artists. From experimental rock to electronic music, jazz to folk, the label continues to push boundaries and support unique voices within the industry.

Colleen is an aboundingly inventive composer and artist. For two decades Cécile Schott, as Colleen, has crafted welcoming, enchanting, and bewildering music. The multi-instrumentalist and vocalist’s timeless compositions make use of carefully selected tools to mold memories into transcendent splendor. The Tunnel and the Clearing finds Schott at her most vulnerable and confident, invoking contemplative and swirling organ processed through analog electronics, steady drum machine syncopations and her distinctive voice. On an album centered on processing the complicated washes of emotion through tribulations and revelations Colleen presents a vision of breathless clarity.
