Coil - Moon's Milk (In Four Phases) - 3xLP - Purple Color Vinyl

In 1998 Coil released Moon's Milk (In Four Phases) as four seasonal EPs on their own Eskaton imprint, each timed to an equinox or solstice. Recorded mostly at John Balance and Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson's home studio in Chiswick, London, with Drew McDowall and William Breeze, the suite captures the group at their most improvised and ritualistic.

Spring brings the two-part organ séance "Moon's Milk Or Under An Unquiet Skull," summer the dreamy "Bee Stings" and "Summer Substructures," and autumn the Rose McDowall-sung folk ballad "Rosa Decidua" and the cult favorite "Amethyst Deceivers." Winter closes with "A White Rainbow," "Magnetic North" and a haunting take on the English carol "Christmas Is Now Drawing Near."

Dais Records gathers all four phases across three LPs, plus the rare bonus material recorded with Thighpaulsandra, including "Copal" and "Bankside." This edition is pressed on clear purple vinyl, limited to 500 copies, and housed in a box set with slipcase art by Steven Stapleton. An essential piece for any Coil or experimental music collection.
