详细介绍:
It%27s been 26 years since the Cocteau Twins last released new music (the Milk and Kisses album) and in that time, their one-of-a-kind vocalist Elizabeth Fraser has released precisely two original songs (2000%27s Underwater and 2009%27s Moses’) and guested on a handful of others, including Massive Attack%27s Teardrop in 1998 which stands among the most iconic of her performances. While her former bandmate (and partner) Robin Guthrie has been exponentially more productive in the intervening years, the general sameness of his many releases has made the rarity and uniqueness of Fraser%27s work over the last quarter-century that much more attention-grabbing. Accordingly, the arrival of a five-song EP that clocks in at nearly a half hour feels like it should be a revelatory indulgence. It is not. Instead, it is an excellent and dynamic listening experience that%27s built around some surprisingly straightforward structures. Fraser%27s voice is in fine form and her creative collaboration with her current life partner (Massive Attack touring drummer Damon Reece) is yielding work that is interesting and engaging, stripping away some of the gauzy unknowability of her earlier output and occasionally sounding a little bit ordinary. Sun%27s Signature kicks off with a revamped version of Underwater, a gentle, spare, and sing-songy tune that quickly evolves into something more enveloping and dramatic. While dynamics have always been a specialty of both Fraser and Reece, the two%27s flair for expansive drama yields mixed results here. Underwater is exceptional and transcendent in its varying colors, while Bluedusk’ tilts too far into its theatricality, with timpani-forward percussion and an arid, music-box production style that is too peculiar by half, forcing sonic filigree to make up for a thin slice of a song idea. Golden Air’ is the big, voice-from-the-heavens number Cocteau Twins fans may be looking for, and it delivers all the spine-tingling, what did I just hear? trills and crescendos of the duo%27s late-period work. However, Apples is clearly the signature piece. Intentionally restrained in all the right ways, it%27s a seven-and-a-half minute slowburn that starts with an airy, acoustic accompaniment (played by, of all folks, Steve Hackett) to Fraser%27s voice, which is singing at the higher end of its register, only to quickly be accompanied by a double-track harmony of itself. The song slowly and thoughtfully unfolds, refusing to indulge in bombast or empty ambiance, and instead focusing on a calm but dynamic approach that%27s quite unconventional but deeply engaging. Apples is not just one of the EP%27s most sonically rewarding pieces, it%27s also the one that is the most interesting. One hopes that if there is more to come from the duo, they will dig into surprising sounds like those. © Jason Ferguson/Qobuz
