Cocteau Twins are so much more than shoegaze - they were basically a genre of their own. Elizabeth Fraser is quite simply one of the best vocalists ever, and it's almost criminal how little she is known. Follow Cocteau Twins from their start and listen how she grew, but dont try to listen to the words - there aren't any.

@@BiblicalTeachings The only person who knows the lyrics is Elizabeth Fraser - Simon and Robin have both said that even they don't know them. The only official lyrics anywhere are a few words printed in the sleeve art. Otherwise no official lyrics have ever been published. Fans got really excited when an official Japanese release included a lyric sheet, but the label had to admit that they had simply made the words up and were forced to remove the lyric sheet by the band. There have been literally hundreds of attempts by fans to decipher the lyrics over the years, but I guarantee anything you find online is totally unofficial (unless someone has managed to steal Liz's notebook).

I am so happy when i see a young guy discover this amazing band from the past. Welcome to the otherworld. Please do not call it shoegaze though, because this term came only later, whereas Cocteau twins were the pioneers of the so called ethereal genre, which was by some called "dream pop" later (i never liked this term as well). If you want to delve into this kind of music, you should definitely check bands such as The Moon seven times, Cranes, and stuff released in the '90s by Projekt records like Love spirals downwards, Frolic. Also The Frozen autumn (italian band), Kuroyuri shimai (from Japan), Ostia (australian band), Autumn's grey solace. Recently a great band is Terror forms. Wish you an happy exploration.

Great reaction, I love to see someone taking in an entire CT album. This band is typically considered “dream pop” instead of shoegaze, though there are certainly elements of shoegaze in some of their songs. Really though, they are a genre all their own. Their earliest albums are very dark/goth, and they also did a couple ambient records. But they are best known for that dreamy, ethereal sound. There’s never been another band like them. I would love to see more CT album reactions. I’d suggest doing “Treasure” next, followed by “Blue Bell Knoll.”

Liz Fraser with Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance) were considered the most incredible singers of the '80. Both of them have an unique way to use their voices. If you like this album i suggest you to listen Treasure probably Cocteau Twins's masterpiece. They were not considered shoegaze, more a melodic side of goth music also because they started their music at the beginning of the '80 and shoegaze its a genere born at the very beginning of the '90.

So much fun to watch your reactions to one of my favorite albums. That eighth track is so deliciously complex. Liz Fraser: "Backup vocalists? Sure, I'll be all of them." It's like she becomes so many different characters even within one song. Or else we are hearing several scenes from a movie all playing out at once, overlapping. The music is lovely but it is always dramatic too. I think the Cocteau Twins arrived here from another planet where music is capable of doing so much more than we suspected

It wasn't just another ten-track album from another band. It was a spiritual experience. I just happened to stumble upon it years before and rediscovered it back again and I'm glad I did. It wasn't just a "phase" that will soon fade out once you experienced it, it will leave a glorious memory that will play again and again inside your silent thoughts after. It wasn't a "personality" you can "wear" anytime of the day, but it was a universe on it's own and you're just there experiencing it's own heaven. It feels like.... falling in love, getting closer to God, understanding the higher power and sitting at the highest chair seeing stars below your feet. It was astonishing. I'm forever obsessed with this album. I love it more than I love myself and experiencing those ten tracks, I love myself now. Thanks, Cocteau Twins.

I am from the generation ( X) this band came about and it was not labelled " shoegaze" at the time , that's a modern label, it was on the " alternative" section at the music store. I discovered them while listening like many peers of my age to FM radio station in Paris ( france) at 2 am to discover new genres. A very random activity but it was the only way to hear gems that were not played during prime time hours. Nice to see the younger generation discovering this unique band that influenced your dream pop / shoegaze modern bands.

I would like to say something about the term "shoegaze," and I hate sounding like a pedant, but here we go! Shoegaze as a genre label was invented by the UK press after bands like Cocteau Twins, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Curve, et al, gained a popular following in the UK. A lot of these bands made sort of jangly, guitar driven pop music, but the label wasn't really about the sound so much as the bands' perceived persona on stage. These bands didn't "perform" or put on a show, but typically just stood on stage and played, looking down at their effects pedals. This ran kind of parallel to the grunge movement in the US, where scruffy-looking bands just sort of ambled onstage and rocked out, without displaying the usual trapping of 80s rock performers like leather outfits, snarly attitudes, and big hair. This was seen as quietly revolutionary, much like the early punk movement, because it was people who were "un-star-y" making this huge-sounding music, and performing it onstage appearing almost reluctant to do so. So "shoegaze" really isn't about a genre of music, it's about an aesthetic that the press deemed to be on-trend for a period in the UK. The problem is that that term kind of caught on, and is now being used retroactively to describe artists like Cocteau Twins who absolutely did not make genre music. It diminishes their legacy and influence on the whole of popular music, because it reduces them to a "type" or a microgenre, like synthwave or something. Artists that draw from a period of music in the past to create something that sounds like something in the past. That's not Cocteau Twins. And you cannot swing a dead cat without encountering younger people referring to Cocteau Twins as "shoegaze" or worse, "dream pop." 🤢 So, yeah. Sermon over lol.

If you are a shoe gaze fan check out Lonely London Lad. A regular guy from WVA who released 2 amazing albums in 2009 and 2010. He had some very qualified musicians with him. The music is more diverse than just shoegaze..Much was similar to Bowies late 70s work. I became friends with him and begged him to put out kore music. He probably has another 50 unreleased tracks that are amazing.

This group (which split in 1997) are underrated. This album is underrated. Elizabeth Fraser is underrated. She was a guest vocalist on 3 Massive Attack songs on their 1998 album Mezzanine (Teardrop, Black Milk and Group Four). Her voice transcends everything she sings. My favourite on HOLV is I Wear Your Ring. But I think you need to listen to that track again, as the key changes are apparent. BTW, I'm addicted to this album. The instrumentation in every song is well put together.

Just remembered, Pitch the Baby was on a summer compilation 2cd, and it made me hear it in a different context, which gave me a new appreciation for it. It's untypical, so it leaves them open to scrutiny. It's a bit softer and feminine, if that's possible. As a vehicle for Liz' voice, the band elevate her into the clouds but in this track she's just floating there. This track gives a glimpse of what the band might have been, if not at 4AD....which leads to the next album being on Fontana label.

You have musical sophistication beyond your young years. Elizabeth Fraser has a canon of stellar releases under the Cocteau Twins as well as seminal guest vocals with Massive Attack, Peter Gabriel, This Mortal Coil, as well as soundtrack contributions and solo projects. Please check her new EP under the name "Sun's Signature". It is magestic!
