Cocteau Twins’ Simon Raymonde Announces New Memoir

Stereogum

(Amusingly, the band thinks this is their worst, most rushed "abortion" of an album. Go figure.)

Cocteau Twins - Blue Bell Knoll

This was the first LP that was released in the US (those of us on the early bus had bought the imports of the previous albums), and it's kind of a summary statement of where they were then—almost an introduction.

This probably has the most indecipherable lyrics in the Twins canon (which is saying something), and some of the most lyrical singing. Beautiful water treading.

Cocteau Twins - Treasure

This might be my favorite Cocteau Twins album.

It's flawless from stasrt to finish, starting with the one-two punch of Ivo and Lorelei... and it never lets up.

I have to assume that the presence of new member Simon Raymonde is what kicked things up a notch.

Superb. No better place to start, if you're new to the Cocteau Twins...
