This Mortal Coil: Blood

180gm vinyl LP pressing. The inspiration of Ivo Watts-Russell This Mortal Coil emerged in the early-80s when the post-punk scene was splintering in exciting new ways and Ivos then-fledgling record label 4AD was in the thick of it all. This Mortal Coil were not a band per se never performing live rather a collaboration of musicians with both Ivo and co-producer John Fryer the only constants while the cast rotated. Experimentation was rife over three albums they produced a heady mix of original works musical links and reinterpretations of impeccably curated songs helping to introduce a new audience to the talents of a previous generation including Big Star Tim Buckley Roy Harper Spirit Gene Clark Dino Valenti Rain Parade Emmylou Harris Syd Barrett and Colin Newman. Intriguing almost amorphous the ethereal qualities of This Mortal Coil were further enhanced by the stunning artwork that ran throughout the project - with the mysterious figure of Pallas Citron adorning each album cover making her the projects de facto face.
