It'll End in Tears

Limited 180gm white vinyl LP pressing of this 1984 album in a gatefold package with a printed inner sleeve. Born in an effort to pay tribute to influential artists and his own desire for self-expression, 4AD owner Ivo Watts-Russell formed the studio project This Mortal Coil. On It'll End in Tears, Ivo invites many friends along for the ride, including label mainstays The Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance, combining their unique voices and songwriting talents. Deep reverb washes the guitars as soaring voices drift on beds of string instruments and electronics producing beautiful covers of songs by Tim Buckley, Big Star and Alex Chilton, and crafting a truly memorable and influential album in its own right.
