Trending Now｜Coil: Black Antlers (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP｜ Other Products

"Black Antlers' showcases late-period Coil at their purest: stripped down, tighter, and leaner. The music became more rhythmic, with a greater emphasis on beats: 'the songs we did tend to be more... not rock in any sense of a word, but you know, more conventional in terms of structure, but now what we're doing is sort of within an 'electronic' genre.' The sound of 'Black Antlers' is of an intoxicating energy, combining Thighpaulsandra's advanced synthesis, John Balance's poetic lyricism and Peter Christopherson's flirtations with jazz and Ableton-aided PowerBook maximalism. Rounding out the trio were renowned hurdy-gurdy player Cliff Stapleton on a 'specifically commissioned' electric variant, to merge into the band's 'strange and other-worldly music'. Initially released as an 'album-in-progress' in June 2004, a post on the Threshold House website noted, 'Please remember that September will see Coil recording the album 'Black Antlers (Proper)'.' Jhonn Balance passed away that November; Christopherson would reunite with 'Love's Secret Domain' collaborator Danny Hyde to complete 'Black Antlers' by May 2006." - Dais Records
