Cocteau Twins - Blue Bell Knoll


















Blue Bell Knoll was released in 1988. i was in high school teetering between my love or metal and my secret love of shoegazer, new wave and goth. this was also the first one to hit the US for distribution. i love the opening song, "Blue Bell Knoll", as well as "carolina's fingers" and the amazing "For Phoebe Still a Baby". expect more beautiful vocals by Elizabeth Fraser, and amazing work by the rest of the band here. I'm not sure what i can say about this band that i haven't already said about them. these guys are so imaginative, so well thought out,so beautiful sounding, that you would do yourself a disservice by passing them up. take a chance on this band, you'll be glad you did. have i ever steered you wrong? i didn't think so.
