The album I Talk To Water
I Talk To Water, Kölsch’s fifth album for Kompakt, is an intimate, deep-dive narrative that mixes themes of family and history while embracing the process of converting pain into comfort. The album’s core is inspired by Kölsch’s father, Patrick Reilly, who died in 2003.
Tracks like Grape, Tell Me, and It Ends Where It Began are all based on recordings made by Kölsch’s father, who was a touring musician in the 1960s and 1970s.
The tranquillity of this time, pieced together during the epidemic and its multiple lockdowns, caused Kölsch to dwell on his father’s death and how he could memorialize such a vital individual in his life.
I Talk To Water began to bloom after delving into a wave of nostalgic emotions. The recordings utilized in the project allowed Kölsch to meaningfully connect the past and present, allowing him to create his most personal body of work to date.
