If the Listening Post is a journey of discovery we could come to the end today, stop right here and I would be fine.
It took me a while to “get” Cocteau Twins. Looking it up I learned that this record was only Guthrie and Fraser, with Raymonde taking a break to work on another This Mortal Coil record.
So, is it really “Cocteau Twins”? Shouldn’t it be listed as a side project of some kind?
I mean, it’s just the two of them so…twins, yes.
Damn, this is beautiful. Why have I not been turning to this every time I have trouble sleeping?
If every shoegaze band doesn’t list this album as an influence (as well as Julee Cruise) they are lying to you.
