this mortal coil: it'll end in tears

The debut album, It’ll End In Tears (1984) forged the template for This Mortal Coil, whilst also helping to crystallize 4AD's emerging signature sound and shining a light on some of their sta- ble with Cocteau Twins, Colourbox and Dead Can Dance all involved (the line-up was com- pleted by Howard Devoto of Buzzcocks / Mag- azine fame and Cindytalk’s Gordon Sharp). An important record of its time, Pitchfork recently named it one of the best Dream Pop albums ever, a moment they commented which “catalyzed 4AD’s ascendance from the stilted poetics of goth rock to the kings of gauzy transcendence.” Using remasters made from the original analog studio tapes by the late, great John Dent at Loud Mastering, these reissues will come housed in beautiful, hand finished and high-gloss gatefold sleeves with reimagined artwork by Ivo Watts-Russell and Vaughan Oliver, 4AD’s long-time visual partner.
