The Dark Age Of Love

Available for the first time on vinyl since 2009, The Dark Age Of Love is a brilliantly versatile tribute album to British avant-garde and experimental group Coil.

On the 13th of November 2004, Jhonn Balance passed away. He was, along with Peter Christopherson (sadly also no longer with us), the founding member of the band Coil. His death marked the end of over twenty years of activism and musical genius.

Following his tragic passing, Ici D'Ailleurs started working on a project to pay tribute to one of the most fascinating and cutting edge musical outlets in modern British music. In 2009, The Dark Age Of Love is released under the moniker This Immortal Coil, both a reference to 4AD's This Mortal Coil and the immortal powers of Coil's vast output.

This supergroup project features Yaël Naim, Bonnie Prince Billy, Matt Elliott, Yann Tiersen, DAAU, Christine Ott, Oktopus from Dällek, Sylvain Chauveau, and many more. Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson immediately put it up for sale on Coil's website The Threshold House, describing it as "the most extraordinary, beautiful, and moving re-interpretations of Coil I have ever heard".
