This Mortal Coilis a project of Ivo Watts-Russell, president of the British 4AD record label, begun in 1983. Because it features members of other recording groups, This Mortal Coil (TMC) is an example of a supergroup. The records consist mostly of dark and moody interpretative cover versions of a wide variety of artists ranging from Big Starto The Apartmentsand Tim Buckley. A number of tracks from the first TMC album, It'll End In Tears, feature vocals by Elizabeth Fraserof the Scottish group Cocteau Twins, who also released music on 4AD. One of these tracks in particular has gone down in anecdotal history: an ethereal cover of Tim Buckley's Song to the Siren.
