Colin Self’s latest album is a dialogue between worlds, past and present, seen and unseen. Rooted in conversations with the dead and guided by the cryptic language of Polari, the record embraces grief, exile, and self-discovery through sound, puppetry, and prayer. In this interview, Self unpacks the spiritual and artistic forces that shaped the album, from tulpamancy to dollmaking, and teases a theatrical live show that blurs the line between ritual and performance.
