What is your favorite Cocteau Twins song?

in my angelhood

>>73537458
* our

Sugar Hiccup.

>>73537441
Those Eyes, That Mouth

>>73537441
>listening to a band with the word cock right in the title

Don't think I can pick one. Comes down to Lorelei, Lazy Calm, Carolyn's Fingers, and Pitch The Baby but I can't narrow it down any more than that.

>>73537458

In My Angelhood is underrated as hell. I don't think that and Violaine get enough love.

>>73538304
yeah it's fierce, wish they had done more fast ones like that really, although i love all their stuff

Pandora

Cherry-Coloured Funk

>>73537441
Musette and Drums

>>73537458
>>73537486
>>73538627
these are great too

>>73537441
In The Gold Dust Rush. Honestly Head Over Heels is their best album on the whole, I've never really understood why people prefer Treasure and Heaven Or Las Vegas.

if you say anything other than lorelei please consider kys

WOLF IN THE BREAST

Fifty-Fifty Clown

>>73539563
Because those albums feel like more complete pieces, while Head Over Heels just seems like a collection of songs. I love all three though

Persephone is WOEFULLY underrated

>>73539797
Head Over Heels has a very consistent sound though. The other albums do too but the drums and layering on Head Over Heels just feels so comfortably dense while I felt Treasure felt a bit empty.

>>73539626
this

but really all their tracks stand out. its crazy how all the tracks work so well by themselves.

>>73539563
this

I can definitely understand preferring Treasure, although I dont agree, but I feel like the people who think HoLV is their best albums have only listened to no more than three of their albums

Heaven or Las Vegas

I've listened to all their albums... that track soars.

its fairlight cmi series ii drums

comfy thread

Lazy Calm

>>73540448
actually no wtf am i saying, it's not yamaha it's a drumulator
i can see why you think it's similar to a fairlight but cocteaus never had enough money for a fairlight

interestingly enough that drumulator snare originally came from when the levee breaks

>>73541002
Wouldn't they have just used one that a studio had? Most records in the 80s just used studio gear, especially ZTT.

>>73541054
they had their own studio
but the snare is definitely a drumulator

To me, Head Over Heels sounds like the band really trying to find themselves. Even on Garlands they had a dedicated aesthetic, however primitive it might've been. Head Over Heels sounds like the band trying a bunch of different ideas and seeing what sticks and it turns out what stuck was Sugar Hiccup. The end result is probably the band's most exploratory albums but also one of their most unsure. Personally I think it's among their weakest but there's some really good shit on it like When Mama Was Moth, In Our Angelhood and Musette and Drums. They were on to something, they just weren't quite there yet.

nothing beats lorelei

When I see their name I hear Carolyn's Fingers in my head. So I guess that.

Pleb choice, but I have to go with "I Wear Your Ring." That whole album is incredible.

>>73540274
This is a second or third choice for me. The song just fucking hits in all of the right places.

Pitch the Baby is their finest track. Lorelei and Persephone tie for second.

Garlands is underrated as fuck

Considering it's the closest thing to Pornography I've heard that isn't Pornography I'm surprised it doesn't have more fans within that niche.

Why do some people put them under the goth label? The only thing similar to the sound is the guitar sometimes... they aint no sisters to me

>>73548407
I think because of the banshees influence

>>73548407
because they were goth until 1984

Bumpino

>>73548407
Because "goth" used to be a fairly vague label in the 80s and a lot of bands that didn't submit to the aesthetic/sonic standards of the genre/subculture still had large followings within the subculture.
Cocteau Twins(and many other 4AD bands), The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Fall etc., all of these bands were pretty big with 80s goths despite obviously not being goth bands themselves.
