Our Take

COCTEAU TWINS' debut album "Garlands" is a swirling ethereal dream, like floating through a cotton candy cloud while sipping on a cosmic cocktail. Elizabeth Fraser's hauntingly beautiful vocals cascade over Robin Guthrie's shimmering guitars and Simon Raymonde's pulsating bass lines like a sonic waterfall of pure magic.

From the ethereal opener "Blood Bitch" to the hypnotic "Wax and Wane," each track on this album is a mesmerizing journey through the otherworldly realms of the Cocteau Twins' imagination. Fraser's vocals, sung in her own invented language, add an extra layer of mystery and intrigue to an already spellbinding sonic tapestry.

Tracks like "Blind Dumb Deaf" and "Glass Candle Grenades" showcase the band's ability to create music that is both hauntingly beautiful and slightly unsettling, like a ghostly waltz in a shadowy ballroom. The production on this album is a bit rough around the edges, giving it a raw and visceral feel that only adds to its unique charm.

Overall, "Garlands" is a stunning debut from one of the most enigmatic and influential bands of the post-punk era. It's like stepping into a surrealist painting and getting lost in its twisted beauty. If you're looking for music that will transport you to another dimension, look no further than Cocteau Twins' "Garlands." It's a masterpiece of ethereal weirdness that will leave you absolutely spellbound.
