Coil

More than just demos or sketches, these tracks—often inspired by Christopherson’s dreams—carry the unmistakable Coil signature: unnerving synth textures, ritualistic rhythms, strange beauty and psychic residue. Despite their unfinished nature, many pieces feel complete in their own surreal logic.

For longtime followers, Swanyard is a rare and generous glimpse into the pair’s creative process—raw yet refined, deeply atmospheric, and utterly singular. A crucial addition to the Coil canon, dense with mood and meaning.
