This Mortal Coil

This Mortal Coil was a 4AD "supergroup" of sorts that recorded three albums and a few other tracks between 1983 and 1991.
The only official members of the project were 4AD label head Ivo Watts-Russell and well-known producer John Fryer, but many vocalists and musicians from 4AD (and non-4AD) groups such as Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, Dif Juz, Colourbox, The Wolfgang Press, Cindytalk, Breathless and more were involved at various points in the project's lifespan.
While the project was retired following the 1991 album "Blood", the concept was revisited by Ivo in 1998 with a similar collective called The Hope Blister.
The name This Mortal Coil is taken from the Monty Python's Flying Circus "Dead Parrot sketch", which in turn is a quote from William Shakespeare's Hamlet ("... what dreams may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal coil...").

The Black Crowes

US blues rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. Formed in 1989, with a 3 year hiatus between 2002 and 2005.

Disbanded in January 2015, over a dispute concerning Chris Robinson, who wanted drummer Gorman and brother Rich to surrender their share of the band.

They reformed in late 2019 after the brothers Robinson resolved their differences, with an all new band behind them.
