This Immortal Coil - The World Ended A Long Time Ago (2022) Hi-Res

One of the most unexpected comebacks of this year will remain This Immortal Coil. Indeed, the British duo had marked their territory thirteen years earlier with This Dark Age Of Love which was a sublime tribute to the British group Coil. Water has flowed under the bridge since then and it is time for them to return with their long-awaited successor called The World Ended A Long Time Ago.

Through these ten new titles, This Immortal Coil offers us an absolutely immersive listening experience. With a panoply of guests of all kinds, the band takes us into the beyond with dense and elegant covers like “Where Are You? » in the company of Matt Elliott but also Gaspar Claus and Maxime Tisserand or even « Cold Cell » which invites among others Christine Ott and David Chalmin.

At the borders of post-rock, the audiovisual experience of This Immortal Coil is a real success. Whether on "A White Rainbow" with Shannon Wright and Christine Ott or on "Magnetic North" with Matt Elliott and Gaspar Claus among others, The World Ended A Long Time Ago is a splendid tribute that takes on scale gradually with "Christmas Is Now Drawing Near" or with the finale called "Going Up". It was worth the thirteen year wait anyway.
