Album Focus: Kim Churchill

Name: Kim Churchill

Album title: Silence/Win

Where did the title of your new album come from? I took one of the lyrics, “silence win”, and tried to break it down to the most common denominator. I felt the two words were working paradoxically. So I separated them, finishing with Silence/Win.

How many releases do you have now? Three releases. More like seven or eight albums – some have been deleted from history while others are limited releases.

How long did it take to write/record? About three months all up. Some songs I had from past collections of writing, but most were nailed down in the lead up to recording.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? I divided my writing time between a small town in Mexico called Troncones and Montreal, Quebec. One was inspiring because of its cultural electricity, whilst the other was brilliant for the feeling of complete isolation.

What’s your favourite song on it? Rage. The self-critic in me rests easy and I enjoy it more for this reason.

Will you do anything differently next time? Probably… My biggest fear is stagnation.
