详细介绍:
After a prolific tear through the mid-%2780s, the Cocteau Twins slowed down near the decade%27s end. Having released 5 albums and 8 standalone EPs between 1982 and 1986, they took an unheard-of two years to release Blue Bell Knoll, their first on U.S. major label Capitol Records, after which … silence. There was no tour. No promo jaunt. Just a few magazine features and, if you were lucky to catch it on 120 Minutes, a music video featuring the group and their ever-faithful reel-to-reel machine. News reports surfaced that Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie had a baby, and that Simon Raymonde%27s father had died. Whispers circulated that Guthrie%27s cocaine habit was out of hand and that, despite the new baby, he and Fraser%27s relationship was in tatters. It would not have been surprising if the next thing the public heard from the Cocteau Twins was an announcement of their breakup.
Instead, in September 1990, they released Heaven or Las Vegas, an album that could easily stand as the best work in their entire catalog. (4AD label head Ivo Watts-Russell called it a perfect record, though that didn%27t stop him from dropping the band a month after its release, due to irreconcilable personality differences.) Despite whatever turmoil and crisis was consuming the band at the time—and by all accounts, there was more than plenty—Heaven or Las Vegas shines and shimmers with a sense of emotional resonance and clarity that had previously never been fully realized on a Cocteau’s release. The pop songs here–Iceblink Luck, Fotzepolitic, the title track–are explosively joyful and irresistibly catchy. Guthrie%27s intricate, gossamer guitar work glides atop sturdy, forceful beats anchored by Raymonde%27s liquid basslines and Fraser%27s voice at its most expressive and expansive (and nearly intelligible). Meanwhile, midtempo, introspective tracks like Fifty-Fifty Clown and I Wear Your Ring and, especially, the heart-wrenching beauty of the album%27s final three tracks (Wolf in the Breast, Road, River and Rail, and Frou-Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires) traffic in an emotional purity that%27s as close to plain spoken as the group had ever been. And while the precise lyrical components are still quite cryptic, the impact is inarguable. Heaven or Las Vegas is pure flex on behalf of the Cocteau Twins, showing off everything they%27re capable of doing, all at once, and at the highest level. It would be a remarkable piece of art by any group, but for one that was literally falling apart at the time, it%27s a dizzying accomplishment. © Jason Ferguson/Qobuz
