In this heavily illustrated compendium,  the legendary British experimental band Coil tell their story in the present tense, as events unfold across their twenty-year history.

Between 1983 and 2004 the legendary British experimental band Coil established itself as a shape-shifting doyen of esoteric music whose influence has grown spectacularly in the years since its untimely end. With music that could be dark, queer, and difficult, but often retained a warped pop sensibility, Coil's albums were multifaceted repositories of esoteric knowledge, lysergic wisdom and acerbic humor. In <em>Everything Keeps Dissolving</em>, core members John Balance and Peter Christopherson tell Coil's story in the present tense, and from their personal perspectives.

Accompanied by their various collaborators, Coil describe the fertile eruption of ideas, inspirations, and stray tangents that informed their lyrical and musical visions—as well as those dead paths and castoff concepts that didn't take root. Not only a worm's eye view of Coil, these interviews provide insight into the late twentieth century's evolving British cultural underground as channeled through two of its most astutely mercurial minds.

A milestone in Coil's evolving posthumous history, <em>Everything Keeps Dissolving</em> contains a number of previously unseen drawings, photographs and other images by, and of, the band.
