Cocteau Twins- Head Over Heels


















ok, so here we go a little to the left again. Cocteau Twins have been a favorite of mine for some time now. this was released in the fall of 83. they were more of a Scotish new wavish dream pop sort of thing. whatever. i loved the sounds and i loved the vocals.I really like the underwater feel i get from listening to Elisibeth's singing, swimming beneath all that reverb, but at the same time, desperate, and emotionally beautiful. some of my faves on this album are 'Sugar Hiccup', 'In Our Angelhood', 'Multifoiled' and 'My Love Paramour'. im going to post a few more releases by them, i would encourage you to give them a shot. if you like stuff that sounds a little like Simple Minds, and a lot like premature shoegazer, with vocals that may or may not remind you of Dolores O'Riordan, then this is your band. if you don't like any of those things, then to hell with you. no im kidding. anyway, enjoy...
