This Mortal Coil was a musical dream pop project of Ivo Watts-Russell, founder of the British 4AD Records label. The project brought together key 4AD artists, as well as others not signed to the label, under an umbrella name. Among others, This Mortal Coil featured contributions from Howard Devoto, Colourbox, Dead Can Dance and, pivotally, Cocteau Twins. Between 1983 and 1991 This Mortal Coil released three albums—It'll End in Tears, Filigree & Shadow, and Blood—each of which consists largely of atmospheric interpretations of songs by 1970s artists such as Alex Chilton, Chris Bell, Roy Harper, Gene Clark, and Tim Buckley.
Two tracks from the first album, It'll End In Tears, feature vocals by Elizabeth Fraser of the Scottish group Cocteau Twins, who also recorded for 4AD. The better-known of these is the ethereal cover of Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren", which created considerable renewed interest in Buckley at a time when his albums were not widely available.
Filigree & Shadow was an album released in 1986 by Ivo Watts-Russell's supergroup, This Mortal Coil. The supergroup consists primarily of artists attached to the 4AD label, of which Ivo was the co-founder and (at the time) the owner and president. The album peaked at number two in the UK Independent Music chart, spending 16 weeks in total on the chart having entered it on October 11, 1986.
Categorically speaking, this music is considered Goth, as the songs have been described as haunting and perhaps dark, though uplifting (the first vocal track, "The Jeweller", is a good example of this). Of the 25 tracks, 13 are instrumental, including the title track.
This was the first double-LP released on 4AD, and introduced the "DAD" (for double album) prefix into the label's catalog [1]. Ivo took careful consideration in shaping the album's four sides so that they flowed together as individual wholes. This is lost somewhat on compact disc, as the entire album fits on one .
