Oscar Davies-KayHOST
It's kind of sick though.
Oscar Davies-KayHOST
Like look at the Cocteau Twins.
Oscar Davies-KayHOST
They're just speaking gibberish, but it sounds slightly like words.
Oscar Davies-KayHOST
And also my friend Jamie showed me this cool Brian Eno album.

7 MINS LATER
Simon RaymondeGUEST
We were, setting up a label really not with any idea of signing other bands.
Simon RaymondeGUEST
We were in our own band.
Simon RaymondeGUEST
We were in the Cocteau Twins and we felt like if we put things out on our own label, we wouldn't have to deal with so many people that we didn't really want to be dealing with.
Simon RaymondeGUEST
So that was the sort of the germ of the idea of setting Bella Union up in the very first place.
Nero NavaHOST
Then we had Snake Dance by the March Violets.
Nero NavaHOST
And then we had Persephone by the Cocteau Twins.
Nero NavaHOST
I tend to favor their collection called The Pink Opaque.
Nero NavaHOST
But that's a bunch of singles and b-sides and stuff like that.
Nero NavaHOST
But if you want a full record of the Cocteau Twins in all their glory, I would get Treasure, which features Persephone.
Nero NavaHOST
Here's an ad read.
Nero NavaHOST
Remember when you had to physically return a movie? Max's video still does that.
DubyaHOST
Beautifully articulated.
DubyaHOST
And one of the things I love about Pick Up the Phone is, I know people can't see this, but it the slow build, the intro, and then it builds and climbs and escalates and ascends, but it doesn't bowl you over maybe like a Cocteau Twins big shimmery moment.
DubyaHOST
It definitely has its moment, very melodic, and then the curve comes down.
DubyaHOST
and descends and slowly fades.
Wayne EverettGUEST
And of course, Andy was influenced by Derry and some of his treatments and stuff.
Wayne EverettGUEST
But like, you know, you go back to some, you know, Cocteau Twins and, you know, some of the more atmospheric like post-punk bands, you know, Susie and the Banshees and, you know, uh 80s era u2 you know with unforgettable fire era or whatever you know um you know obviously brian eno and all that kind of stuff yeah makes to makes a huge appearance in the choir's music and and certainly you know with with ours as well and you know andy is just like such a brilliant a guitar player and just drew from so many different things to, to try to, you know, make each part that he did feel a lot bigger than, than what the sort of stock thing would be to do, you know, the typical thing or the easy thing to do, you know, he was trying to do things that sounded different, you know, and things that were covering a lot of ground also as just like one guitar, you know, Um, that was something I know that he talked about trying to do a lot of was, it was like, I don't want to do too many overdubs.
Wayne EverettGUEST
I want to just all be on guitar.
BrockHOST
Like, let's make this one part really big, as big as we can make it.
EdibleHOST
Nausicaa, what is this beautiful tune that we are listening
NorsicaaGUEST
to? This is Fei Wong, and she was an incredibly famous Cantonese singer through the 80s and 90s, and yeah, you probably know her for her Cantonese cover of Dreams by the Cranberries and Cocteau Twins and stuff, but she had a pretty epic career herself.
NorsicaaGUEST
of original music.
NorsicaaGUEST
Yeah.
PushHOST
Yeah.
PushHOST
And Cocteau's and...
Mark RolandHOST
Yeah, Cocktoes I'd associate.
Mark RolandHOST
They were sort of part of that dream pop era of theirs.
Dennis DrewGUEST
It's one of my favorite songs of the year.
Dennis DrewGUEST
Listen to Cocteau Twins.
Dennis DrewGUEST
that he loved it, My Mother the War, he loved the record, Secrets of the I Ching, and it was number 28 maybe in his festival.
Dennis DrewGUEST
Higher than that, 25.
David ParsonsHOST
They're not as catchy.
David ParsonsHOST
They also like – they're trying for Cocteau Twins or something a little more like –
John LombardoHOST
Dark.
David ParsonsHOST
Yeah, dark dream pop.
Chris Bailey MarchGUEST
further than diaper rock and tool fans
Matty MonroeHOST
I forgot about the Diaper Rockin' Tool fans, how could I? Uh, yeah, this just seems like a worse version of the Cocteau Twins song from last week.
VioletHOST
Like...
VioletHOST
Kinda, yeah.
