There sleeps deep Poetry


In modern day music the patterns seem somewhat replicated continuously each week a new gimmick band that spans a 3 record lifespan then die's away.
Through this trend we are seeing new genre's being borrowed each week, as of recent the shoe gaze genre has rummaged through the distortion and crawled into popular music,
this had led me to review one of the few forefathers of this genre and an un-rivaled force in music.
That is the otherworldly Gaelic Cocteau Twins.

Encompassing an ethereal croon Elizabeth Fraser female icon and ex lover of Jeff Buckley Flows through the endless sea of Lo-Fi guitar fuzz only to carry out an at times undecipherable wall of melodies, this has been likened to speaking in tongue's or the homeland historic mouth music.

Spanning an impressive eight flawless albums from 1979 till 1997.
Milk & Kisses being there last record was by all means the transition from shoe gaze confound to a scarce Indie culture demographic to a more mainstream approach.
My advice is postpone the next inevitable trend and submerse yourself in what is the legacy of the Cocteau twins, Head over heels and Milk & kisses being a suitable starting point.

Fulleylove,
