Member’s name: Christopher Coleman
Album title: Christopher Coleman Collective
Where did the title of your new album come from? While I wasn’t sailing across the Atlantic in the notorious winter of 2013 and spotted an iceberg, I knew this album must be self-titled.
How many releases do you have now? This makes two for this project – we put out a three-track last year, Burnt Black Wood.
How long did it take to write/record? Well, 25 months from when we began tracking until it had been mastered – that’s more of a reflection of procrastination and doubt rather than tireless perfectionism. Twenty-five years marinating too, I suppose.
Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? No because it was recorded over such a long period of time. It was an equally cathartic and lethargic process.
What’s your favourite song on it? Today I have a strong aversion to all of them.
Will you do anything differently next time? Set a deadline and be familiar with the songs. This one was a flick through my notebooks and picking a song at random, sometimes re-learning that song on the day.
