Label US

Cocteau Twins were a Scottish post-punk/ethereal/dream pop band formed in 1981 in Grangemouth, Falkirk. Known for their unique sound and ethereal vocals, the band captivated audiences with their dreamlike melodies and atmospheric music. With a career spanning over 15 years, Cocteau Twins left an indelible mark on the music industry before disbanding in 1997. Their innovative approach to music continues to inspire artists today.
Throughout their career, Cocteau Twins released numerous critically acclaimed albums, including "Treasure," "Heaven or Las Vegas," and "Blue Bell Knoll." Their distinct blend of post-punk, ethereal, and dream pop genres created a mesmerizing sonic landscape that set them apart from other bands of their time.
Cocteau Twins' enchanting vocals provided by Elizabeth Fraser added another layer of beauty to their music. Her angelic voice combined with Robin Guthrie's atmospheric guitar work and Simon Raymonde's melodic bass lines created a truly magical listening experience.

...arguably their best album, 1984’s Treasure. If you’ve yet to experience the magic of Liz Fraser’s voice, I implore you to start with Treasure. She is the icing on this beautiful cake of shimmering guitars wonderfully crafted by Robin Guthrie. The warmth of these albums is best experienced on vinyl as many of the Cocteau Twins CD reissues have been mastered thinly.

The Cocteau Twins returned to being a trio in 1984 with guitarist Simon Raymonde joining their ranks in time for third album, Treasure.

Produced by Robin Guthrie and featuring tracks Lorelei, Ivo and Persephone, Treasure is often celebrated as one of the band’s finest works. As Pitchfork put it when including the album in their Top 100 Albums of the 1980s, “Treasure was titled simply enough. An adjective for the endlessly inventive melodic lines you'd find buried in these songs, and a verb for what you'd do with them for years to come.”
