Cocteau Twins drifted into their most hushed and weightless territory on Victorialand, a 1986 album that still sounds like it was recorded somewhere beyond the weather.
Made by Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie working as a duo, the record sets drums aside in favour of acoustic and effects-drenched guitars, leaving Fraser's voice to float freely above. Arriving after the lush Treasure era and before the brighter pop of later years, it is the band at their most intimate, a quiet detour that many fans hold dearest of all.
"Lazy Calm" opens the album with a slow tide of guitar and saxophone, setting the tone for everything that follows. "Fluffy Tufts" glides on chiming, glassy textures, "Throughout the Dark Months of April and May" is all frost and shimmer, and "The Thinner the Air" closes with a dreamy, slow-motion ache.
As always, Fraser's lyrics are more sound than sense, syllables chosen for colour and feel, and here that approach has never felt more natural. The album takes its name from a stretch of Antarctica, and the music matches that icy, wide-open beauty.
This LP includes a digital download card, so the record can follow you off the turntable too. A gorgeous, gently glowing gem.
