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.

French multi-instrumentalist Colleen (Cecile Schott) is fearless in her willingness to explore new sounds and new ways of creating music as a solo performer. On her new album A Flame My Love, A Frequency, she introduces the most drastic change to her music since she began singing on her fourth album, setting aside the viola da gamba she is known for in exchange for all electronic instrumentation - Moog pedals and Critter and Guitari synthesizers. Words used to describe her muse Arthur Russell are equally applicable to Colleen. Schott’s compositions can be in turn pop or experimental, vocal or instrumental, and acoustic or electronic. She has drawn on the baroque sounds of a classical instrument using the most modern pedals and looping techniques. Shape shifting as she does, the pieces are always distinctly her strong and utterly unique musical voice. A constant across Colleen’s albums are delicate extended melodies, minutely detailed soundscapes, and explorative unbounded compositions. Colleen’s work is a direct result of her core belief that in order to keep growing as an artist, you need to continue to be willing to experiment and to embrace drastic changes.
