Cocteau Twins is not about electronica but is all about Elisabeth Fraser’s voice and, especially in the case of Garlands, about howling guitars creating this darkened siren song. The thing with Liz’ voice is like with Siouxsie : either you can’t stand it, either you get drugged by it.
This is their first album and it still has a lot of rough, unpolished edges giving it a lot of character and personality. Beautiful eighties making it far into the next millennium!
