Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas (Black Vinyl)

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas (Black Vinyl)From the start, Heaven is simply fantastic: on Cherry Coloured Funk, Guthrie's inimitable guitar work chimes leading a low key but forceful rhythm, while Raymonde's grand bass work fleshes it out. Fraser simply captivates; her vocals are the clearest, most direct they've ever been, purring with energy and life. There are many moments of sheer Cocteaus beauty and power, including the title track, with its great chorus. A near perfect album.

the core duo behind lots of hands

all the while steeped in the greats like Stevie Wonder or The Four Seasons

Dungen's fifth album 4 is brought back in print for the fan favorite's fifteenth anniversary

A band whose reach goes far beyond just influencing music is back

lots of hands often expands into the orchestral

the band’s elaborate sonic infrastructures carry the same sense of studied experimentation as Palm

is both a confluence of all he would create and a line in the sand to mark a shift in his songwriting approach

Released between Slanted & Enchanted and Crooked Rain

or previously unreleased

a record that rewards with repeated listens

but soft & exuberant house music

To make Melt the Honey
