Truly there are few bands that present a better justification for the vinyl format as well. Don’t get me wrong, the writing and the artistry are all there and incredible in their own right. But their signature sound is so lush and organic, particularly in later records like Spiritchaser. It sounds like an alive thing is in the room with you when that record starts, and the sensation never leaves you.
I would love to see them live but I fear that will never be. I think Brandon Perry has some health issues and Lisa Gerrard lives in the Outback. Supposedly they are planning a tour for this year. I hope they come to the US but I would completely understand if they refused to enter the country. My favorite album is Serpent’s Egg. I miss the Cocteau Twins too but Elizbeth Frasier has made it every clear she is not interested in preforming again.
