LA RECENSIONE
Doveva essere l'aria di fine millennio. O meglio: dell'arrivo del nuovo.
Tra New Age (trepidazione per l'Evento) e World (ehi! esistono altri popoli, altri suoni, le voci bulgare ecc. ) ecco i Cocteau Twins: capelli alla Robert Smith ma niente suggestioni dark. Si potrebbe definirli uggiosi oppure celestiali, dipende dall'umore del momento. Fraser vocalizza da sopra qualche nuvola ("Aikea-Guinea"), sotto la band non disdegna qualche tranquilla asprezza ("Kookaburra"). Lo strumentale "Rococo" ricorda... sì! i Cure (forse suggestioni dark).
Li ascolterei facendo vela verso un approdo neozelandese nella primavera australe. (ehm).
Carico i commenti... con calma
Riassunto del Bot
La recensione analizza Aikea-Guinea dei Cocteau Twins come un'opera sospesa tra atmosfere new wave e celestiali, con influenze world e dark. Elizabeth Fraser emerge con una vocalità unica, mentre la band offre sonorità morbide ma anche toccate da leggere asperità. Il lavoro viene evocato come perfetto per un viaggio immaginario e spirituale, confermando il valore del gruppo nel panorama della musica alternativa.Tracce testi

To a girl who you mind
A starry sky memory
When Eros spurns Rococo
Rouge thus far
- chorus -
She's spark run away for you
Do you know what we call the moon
There is no end
Ca candle blown, she'll doubt
Faced with past losing
chorus
And you my god
Can't give show
Can't give
Til you go dancing
Forgive my love
Ca candle blown
she will not
And you my god
Can't give show
Can't give
Til you go dancing
-chorus(slightly different)-
So she'll decide
To marry can we come to be

Cocteau Twins
Cocteau Twins è un gruppo scozzese associato alla 4AD, noto per chitarre pesantemente effettate e per lo stile vocale di Elizabeth Fraser spesso basato su fonemi e glossolalia. Nelle recensioni vengono descritti come fondamentali per la definizione del dream pop, con radici dark/post-punk nei primi lavori e una progressiva apertura verso forme più “digeribili” e pop negli anni successivi.24 Recensioni
