I sometimes wonder if my tastes are regressing and I'm actually just a frustrated goth at heart... Lately I've found myself really liking the Cocteau Twins. Like REALLY liking them, after having a passing interest in them over 25 years ago when I was still at school... After listening to an album, I find it hard to decide what to listen to next. Apart from... more Cocteau Twins.
What I'm never quite sure is... are all the records basically the same? I struggle to find a trajectory path, or to trace a development in sound or style. But pick any track off any record and you know instantly it's the Cocteau Twins. My favourite might be Treasure, but as mentioned I can sit through about another three or four albums in one go.
So... Your thoughts, comments, favourites, least favourites, suggested cameo appearances, things they've done since, links to Scottish private press psych records they made before forming the band etc etc much appreciated!
