Coil

Few groups in recent history forged as confounding and alchemical a body of work as Coil, the partnership of Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson and John Balance. From album to album and phase to phase their recordings spelunk perplexing depths of esoteric industrial, occult electronics, and drugged poetry, both embodying and alienating parallel currents of their peers. The 1990's in particular were a fertile era for the duo, embracing chance, chaos, and collaboration, enhanced by recent advancements in synthesis and sampling. The bands roster also shifted during this time, including a variety of performers and players - among them Dais Records own Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra, who were key members of Coil during the 90s and early aughts until the tragic death of Balance in 2004.
