Product Details

Recorded in Glasgow and released on 4AD in 1982, Garlands arrived fully formed, a debut that sounded like nothing else in post-punk Britain. Elizabeth Fraser's voice, even here in its rawest early incarnation, operated on a frequency all its own, while Robin Guthrie's guitar textures pointed toward the dream pop landscape the band would spend the next decade refining.


GARLANDS

Garlands was the Cocteau Twins' debut album, released in the early autumn of 1982. It was the only album they made with original bassist Will Heggie. Describing it as "haunting", "spellbound", "diaphanous", and discerning a "frosting of sweetness", the critics wore out their adjectives; this was rock music - just - but it was conjured in the unlikeliest environment from the strangest of material.

This is Garlands' first vinyl pressing in over ten years.
