Cocteau Twins - 1996 - Milk & Kisses
Cocteau Twins were a Scottish alternative rock band active from 1979 to 1997, known for complex instrumentation and atmospheric, non-lyrical vocals. Though formed in the post-punk and New Wave era, the Cocteau Twins tended to defy concise categorisation, and their music was a key influence on dream pop. Whilst the entire band earned much critical praise, Elizabeth Fraser's distinctive vocals received the most attention. At times barely decipherable, Fraser seemed to veer into glossolalia and mouth music. Allmusic reviewer Ned Raggett writes that "part of her appeal is how she can make hard-to-interpret lyrics so emotionally gripping." Milk and Kisses is an album issued in 1996. It proved their last; a meeting two years later to record a new album ended with the breakup of the band. 01 - Violane 02 - Serpentskirt 03 - Tishbite 04 - Half-Gifts 05 - Calfskin Smack 06 - Rilkean Heart 07 - Ups 08 - Eperdu 09 - Treasure Hiding 10 - Seekers Who Are Lovers LINK
