Coil was an experimental music duo from England that formed in 1982. The duo consisted of John Balance and collaborator Peter Christopherson.

Though the band wrote music across a huge variety of genres, both volumes of Musick To Play In The Dark were largely experimental, dreamlike in sound and lyrical tone. The band described these volumes as 'moon music', an apt description of their celestial soundscape. Complete with rhythmic pulses and lilting vocals, the songs are hauntingly beautiful and deeply immersive.

Notably, Coil only performed four live shows in 1983, then stopped performing until fifteen years later, when they played a brief gig in Germany in 1999.
