In 2002 Coil released Moon’s Milk, a double CD collection of four
EPs comprising improvised performances recorded over successive equinoxes and
solstices.
For friends and collectors, Jhonn Balance painted 300 CD-R sleeves in an
extended moment of what his friend Gavin Semple describes as “psychic
disjuncture and epiphany” to form “the largest piece in the
substantial body of drawing and painting he created over the years”.
Before his untimely death in 2004, Balance and Peter ‘Sleazy’
Christopherson had considered compiling these 300 unique artworks into a single
print volume, a project that Sleazy, alongside his friend Andrew Lahman,
revisited in 2010, before he himself passed away.
We are thrilled and honoured to have worked with Andrew, and a host of
Coil’s fans and friends, to bring this project to fruition. The result is
a deluxe 224 page full colour hardback book, featuring over 200 paintings,
Polaroid photographs and drawings culled from these intensive sessions,
overflowing with all the beauty, horror and humour that characterise
Coil’s output.
With a foreword by Andrew Lahman, and an afterword by Gavin Semple, the
Moon’s Milk project is finally complete.
