Coil - Queens of the Circulating Library " “It’s in the trees, it’s coming,” “Return the marble index,” “Return books not burn books” and “The forest is a college, each tree a university”, delivered somewhere between a Zen koan and a militant chant, offer further clues before settling into nearly 40-minutes of eye-crossing drones. In those few sentences, Coil are offering you an alchemical index of their fascinations and obsessions, for those who know how to listen. The titular “queens” feels like a nod to their loud-and-proud homosexuality, which they’ve been quite outspoken about since their inception in the early ’80s. Unabashed queerness feels fairly de rigeur in 2023, but was probably still somewhat contentious even in 2000 when Queens of the Circulating Library was first released. I review Queens of the Circulating Library by Coil, first released in 2000 and recently reissued on vinyl for the first time by @DaisRecords.
