Irreparable Parables sees Andrew Wasylyk focus on incorporating the human voice. He sought out a group of guest singers, sending the songs out to them for vocals to be recorded remotely and sent back to Scotland. Among these guests are Belle and Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch, Super Furry Animals' Gruff Rhys, and English rock band Field Music. The lyrics across the album are written largely by the singers, while the music is composed by Wasylyk.
Today, Wasylyk shares "The Cold Collar", which features vocals from Rhys. Speaking of his motivation for collaborating with Rhys, Wasylyk explains: “Super Furry Animals’ records have held a place dear to my heart for a long time. From investigations in experimental pop, to Welsh language albums, I’ve found Gruff’s artistic adventures and creative output inspiring ever since. In ’The Cold Collar' I enjoy how his hushed, almost claustrophobic, wordplay lands among the cinematic feel of the arrangement, and the plot’s unexpected turn of events. Releasing music about an unannounced visitor in the season of first-footing is also mildly amusing serendipity!"
