Cocteau Twins - Garlands (CD)

Cocteau Twins - Garlands (CD)CD, Reissue, Remastered 4AD (2023) US, EU Garlands was the Cocteau Twins' debut album, released in the early autumn of 1982. It was the only album they made with original bassist Will Heggie. Describing it as haunting, spellbound, diaphanous, and discerning a frosting of sweetness, the critics wore out their adjectives; this was rock music just but it was conjured in the unlikeliest environment from the strangest of material.

The EP reached #39 in the UK singles chart and includes the song "Missing Link"

About a year or two ago

with live drums playing a far lesser role

An album that speaks directly to the times we live in

there's no horns

lashing together lascivious electro

1 on the Billboard 200 and has since been certified for sales in excess of three million copies in the U

earnestness and melancholy

"Photograph"

gives way to a tremendous backing track that Tamer Pinarbasi’s Qanun dances over

The track listing contains an intro medley
