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.

Deciding to scale back the overly pretty sound on Blue Bell Knoll while experimenting with more accessibility the <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/cocteau-twins">Twins</a> ended up creating their best album.

From the start, Heaven... is simply fantastic: on Cherry-Coloured Funk, Guthrie's inimitable guitar work chimes leading a low-key but forceful rhythm, while Raymonde's grand bass work fleshes it out. Fraser simply captivates; her vocals are the clearest, most direct they've ever been, purring with energy and life. There are many moments of sheer <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/cocteau-twins">Cocteaus</a> beauty and power, including the title track, with its great chorus. A near-perfect album.
