Cocteau Twins
Artist Overview
Scotland's Cocteau Twins were one of the most distinctive bands to emerge within the splintering rock world of the 1980s. Led by producer, guitarist, and knob-twiddler Robin Guthrie and vocalist Elizabeth Fraser, the Twins explored a landscape of fuzzy atmospherics and mechanized drumbeats, skirting any traditional notion of lyrics in favor of nonsensical sounds and random Scottish phrases. As the band grew more confident, the music's rough edges smoothed out, leaving songs that, as one reviewer put it, sounded like the voice of God.
