[DAIS RE-ISSUE] Coil presents Black Light District - A Thousand Lights in a Darkened Room
Dais Records is proud to announce the official reissue of "Coil presents Black Light District - A Thousand Lights in a Darkened Room". Remastered by engineer Josh Bonati and supervised by Coil's Drew McDowall.
For those who shine darkly……
During the transitional period in which Coil’s primary leadership, Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson and John Balance, reorganized their creative direction by taking on new membership in the group through their inclusion of Drew McDowall, Coil took a drastic turn towards the metaphysical unknown. Employing the subtle handiwork of Coil’s “real life” members, as well as the cleverly guised aliases and spiritual collaborators, the band chose to filter their identity through a the nome de guerre, Black Light District, setting the precedent of Coil’s future exploration of otherworldy influence.
Recorded during the Winter of 1995/96, Black Light District reflects more on their formal avant-garde pursuits and academic interests rather than their industrial pedigree resume. Starting off with an obvious nod to John Cage with their introductory “Unprepared Piano”, the tone is prepared in exactly the same way… unpredictable. Conceptually abstract, Black Light District shows Coil’s old guard disregarding the pop rhythms found on previous albums, such as Love Secret Domain, and fully embracing their experimental electronic trajectory. Subtle patterns of looping melancholy and malaise are placed delicately underneath ghostly electronic timbre. Approaching their creative method as something from the beyond, another realm in which sounds blur and performers seemingly appear from the ether.

I’ve been living in a black cloud
lies crumbling from my dust mouth
how do I stop doing things that make me hate myself
I draw circles with the lights out
hexes tumbling from my feral mouth
how do I stop doing things that make me cross myself
I’ve been feeding from the tree of doubt
excuses filling my dirt mouth
how do I stop doing things that make me starve myself
I carve names at the hideout
teeth sharp in my sterile mouth
how do I stop doing things that make me fight myself
when did my fears all become true
no I never had a chance in hell with you
but still I try like deja vu
no I never had a chance in hell with you
I count beads I am so devout
hypnotizing with my warm mouth
how do I stop doing things that make me cross myself
how do I stop doing things that make me hate myself
when did my fears all become true
never had a chance in hell with you
but still I try like deja vu
no I never had a chance in hell with you
lies crumbling from my dust mouth
how do I stop doing things that make me hate myself
I draw circles with the lights out
hexes tumbling from my feral mouth
how do I stop doing things that make me cross myself
I’ve been feeding from the tree of doubt
excuses filling my dirt mouth
how do I stop doing things that make me starve myself
I carve names at the hideout
teeth sharp in my sterile mouth
how do I stop doing things that make me fight myself
when did my fears all become true
no I never had a chance in hell with you
but still I try like deja vu
no I never had a chance in hell with you
I count beads I am so devout
hypnotizing with my warm mouth
how do I stop doing things that make me cross myself
how do I stop doing things that make me hate myself
when did my fears all become true
never had a chance in hell with you
but still I try like deja vu
no I never had a chance in hell with you
