Cocteau Twins - Victorialand


Cocteau Twins were a Scottish alternative/dreampop band active from 1979 to about 1997. Hugely influential and unique, they forged a sound that was ethereal unlike any other, and well, they had Liz Fraser, who could quite possibly be the best female vocalist of all time. 


Sometimes Cocteau Twins albums may sound a bit dated, even if they are perfect otherwise. But with no drum machines on Victorialand, there's nothing holding this back. Stratospheric ambient pop, if there ever was such a thing. 

The thinner the air
