Biography

The Cocteau Twins were formed in Scotland in 1980 by bassist Will Heggie and guitarist Robin Guthrie. They were joined by vocalist Elizabeth Fraser who would be ‘instrumental’ in providing the band with their distinctive style. Fraser’s ethereal vocal style blurs words into sounds and yet still maintains their emotional content. It is well described as dream pop.

Their sound developed gradually… Read more in Amazon's Cocteau Twins Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Selmer Review, February 3, 2001
By 
This review is from: Head Over Heels/Sunburst & Snowblind (Audio CD)
'Head over Heels' is the most consistent of the earlier Cocteau albums. The import version that includes the 'Sunburst and Snowblind' ep makes sense since they were both recorded during the same sessions. 'Sugar Hiccup' is reprised on the ep, but the three other tracks are the real reason to purchase it. To this day, it amazes me that 'From the Flagstones' and 'Hitherto' weren't included on the original album since they are far more melodic than some of that album's tracks. You can also find both tracks on the import album/compilation 'The Pink Opaque'.(See my review of that album) The final track, 'Because of Whirl Jack' is also a keeper. It is more akin to the almost punkish sounds and tempos of the tracks on their debut, 'Garlands', only again, far more melodic. 'Sunburst and Snowblind' can also be purchased as a part of the limited edition box set that contains all of their ep's. (Essential if you are a diehard) But released in this form as companions, 'Head over Heels/Sunburst and Snowblind' is a "treasure". Similar Artists: Siouxsie and the Banshees, Area, Dead Can Dance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Cocteau Twins, July 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Head Over Heels/Sunburst & Snowblind (Audio CD)
This is an addictive record. I got it a few weeks ago and can't stop listening to it. It's a very dark album, and it reminds me of Sioxusie and the Banshees, my favorite band. Still, the Cocteau's have their own trademark sound.The way Liz belts out the lyrics, the guitars, and the bass (which is very important in this record - I usually could care less for it).It's a very intense album, and wouldn't be a bad place to start for newcomers.If you like the Cocteau's this album is a must.
