Artist

Cocteau Twins

Genre US

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.

Victorialand, Cocteau Twins’ fourth album, was released in spring 1986. The largely acoustic, non-percussive album was made with Elizabeth and Robin, while Simon was working on This Mortal Coil's second album, Filigree&amp;Shadow. Dif Juz label mate Richard Thomas guested on tabla and saxophone. The Guardian said"It’s not quite ambient, but it’s definitely not rock’n’roll even by the Cocteaus’ standards, building on the moments of guitar shimmer from the previous years’ EPs, while also stripping back at points to where it’s nothing but a Guthrie guitar line and Fraser’s voice.

LP - First vinyl pressing since the 80s cut at 33⅓ RPM.
