Edwyn Collins will release an instrumental album to accompany an upcoming documentary which will tell the story of his recovery from the stroke he suffered in 2005.
Directors Edward Lovelace and James Hall are at the helm of In Your Voice which, along with the soundtrack, is expected to be released in the summer.
Speaking to The Guardian whilst on tour in Australia, Collins said one track will carry a vocal, but confirmed the majority of the soundtrack is indeed instrumental.
“I’m doing a new album at the moment,” he revealed. “An acoustic one. It’s a soundtrack album, and it’s really good. One song has my vocals, but the rest of it’s instrumental. It seems to be really good so far. Well, actually, it’s finished: it’s coming out in the summertime. It’s exciting stuff!”
Collins suffered two cerebral hemorrhages in February 2005 which left him unable to walk or talk. Just over wo years later however, he made his first tentative return to the stage after the release of his sixth solo album ‘Home Again‘.
