Moon's Milk (In Four Phases)
Boomkat Product Review:
First compiled as a double CD in 2002, Moon’s Milk (in Four Phases) is a suite of four EPs that Coil released seasonally via their in-house Eskaton imprint across 1998 and now officially pressed on vinyl and repackaged in its entirety for first time.
At a peak of their powers in 1998, Coil’s legendary star-gazers Jhonn Balance & Peter Christopherson convened with Drew McDowell and William Breeze on the last night in their Chiswick, London home to record material that would be issued as four EPs on their Eskaton label later that year. Paying tribute to dates of the calendar observed since pagan times, the recordings were an expression of the band’s occultist beliefs, blending poverty with spirited improvisaton and guest appearances by likes of Rose McDowell, overseen by noted occultist William Breeze, who would also perform on recordings by Psychic TV, C93, and X-TG. For this first deluxe vinyl pressing, Dais also incorporate the rare, related ‘Copal’ release, featuring Thighpaulsandra chiming into the esoteric ether, and making this edition the comprehensive set of Coil’s moon songs.
‘Moon's Milk (In Four Phases)’ is a breakwater in Coil’s catalogue prior their move to a final home in Weston-Super-Mare. It marks their last night in London with particularly melancholic gloom that mirrored a certain, dark change in the UK air that came after the preceding halcyon decade. In ‘First Phase: Spring Equinox’ they condense energies from pitch slapped organ and vocal drones in a possessed séance that resolves with ELpH-like electronic buzz (perhaps Breeze’s processed viola?), before prostrating to the sun with the ‘Second Phase: Summer Solstice’ and its stealthy progression from soured chamber shady ‘Bee Stings’ to the ether hallucination ‘Glowworms / Waveforms’, the starkly beautiful hymnal ’Summer Substructures’, and elliptical psych freak out ‘A Warning From the Sun (For Fritz).’
‘Third Phase: Autumn Equinox’ charts them deep in the session, focussed on sharper sounds and tighter track lengths in the procession from Rose McDowell’s trembling delivery in duet with Jhonn on ‘Rosa Decidua’, thru the spectral apparition of ‘Switches’ , and surreal grandeur of ‘The Auto-Asphyxiating Hierophant’ to the herald the emergence of nature’s seasonal, trans-dimensional portals in an ode to the purple fungi ‘Amethyst Deceivers’ that would become a live favourite. ‘Fourth Phase: Winter Solstice’ is its suitably enchanted conclusion, projecting Jhonn in fine voice on the shivering shanty ‘A White Rainbow’, and digital frostbite of ‘North’, thru a gorgeous ‘Christmas Is Now Drawing Near’ depicting Rose McDowell and Balance duetting a traditional English carol in a psychedelic tableaux of phosphorescent strings and hurry gurdy drone. The new addendum, then separately issued as ‘Copal’, now part of this set, features Thighpaulsandra’s strings in an ode to a season unknown, and notably includes the rare chamber doom beauty of ‘Bankside’.
