cocteau twins

a three-piece band from scotland that has created a brand of music no one can categorize.

i was introduced to this band through a terrible sequel no one wanted, s. darko.

i first saw it when i was 15 and i can't recall now what actually happened in the movie, there's one thing i do remember fondly and it's the song that ended the film, cocteau twins's "heaven or las vegas." to put it lightly, it changed me. at that ripe age, i was exposed to one of the most innovative and eclectic bands to ever exist.  

the band was comprised of two former lovers, elizabeth fraser and robin guthrie and will heggie on the bass. they made something happen that people had never seen and they changed the face of alternative rock. fraser contributes to much of this success with the voice that even today can rival so many. it is an exquisite voice to say the least and her delivery - a beautiful chant-like slur - still remains one-of-a-kind. 

this is a performance of a cover of tim buckley's "song to the siren"
