A 4AD collective assembled by Ivo Watts-Russell that released atmospheric, collaborative albums and reinterpretations between 1983 and 1991.

Project organised by Ivo Watts-Russell for the 4AD label; three main albums commonly cited are It'll End in Tears, Filigree & Shadow and Blood.

DeBaser reviews portray This Mortal Coil as a 4AD–led collective that produced dreamlike, melancholic reinterpretations and atmospheric instrumentals. Praise centers on It’ll End In Tears and Song to the Siren; some later work is seen as fragmented. Overall appreciation is strong among fans of ethereal/dark-wave sounds.

For:Fans of 4AD, dream pop, ethereal wave, dark wave and atmospheric cover versions

 a dream perhaps too sad, but at the same time unique and infinite

 They are good, they used to be often mentioned, they showed a certain originality but, overall, their albums don't convince me!
