I can look out and see their town if I'm standing in the right spot.

Good band, but only due to Fraser. When she was off they were fucking horrible. I have a bootleg where she sounds like Bon Scott.

is there anyway you could share it? Genuinely interested.

pretty neat

Great band, HoLV is a great album

This website had the dumbest fucking captchas btw

I adore the Twins. I think Treasure is their GOAT as an album but HoLV has some of their strongest songs.

Embed related, unironically one of the greatest pop songs ever written.

Sure. It's Live In London 1986 in this pack. Her voice gives out after the first 4 or 5 songs.

I think they're pretty good.

Anyone else prefer Four-Calander Cafe to HoLV? Cheesy drum machine and all?

>>91830

It's their worst album.

>>91870

I disagree. Although sonically not as good as their other work, it's their most powerful. A lot of their personal issues such as drugs and codependency came to light. It's an album for healing, and as personal they got into their music.

That's a very good question. Most people seem to shun away, or at least not pay as much attention to, Four-Calendar Cafe. While HoLV is very easy to get into, and instantly gratifying, that album's dullest moments stick out really bad from the rest, whereas FCC is at least sonically consistent throughout, for better or for worse. On FCC you got the very commercial and easy lead single "Bluebeard," but itself compared to HoLV's lead single "Iceblink Luck" isn't simply as good. "Bluebeard" makes more sense in the context of the album, following "Know Who You Are at Every Age" and "Evangeline", and serves as the lively warm-up to the darker "Theft, and Wandering Around Lost." HoLV is very badly sequenced, a problem that's more apparent with every re-listen.

Yeah I know the story behind the album, but what difference does it make when it's not expressed through the music? I've given it lots of chances but all I see is the Cocteau formula being reduced to a bland mush. There's nothing interesting, moving or memorable in there.

They have "cock" in their name so I assume it's some kind of gay band

>twins

>there are three of them

Tresure is a real masterpiece.

>>89731

All I know about them is their bitter rivalry with the Thompson Twins.

this

I've listened them and i had no commentary, sounds like music for 90's commercials

>>92931

Funny you mention that because they actually did a Fruitopia commercial in '94.

i heard their first record a week or so ago and have been listening to it a hell of a lot since then. it has a great sound. hoping the rest of their stuff is just as good.

overrated by hipsters who get their music taste from /mu/
