Direct from Capitol, this is the latest press release, dated May 13,
regarding the Cocteau Twins. Any typing errors are probably mine.
This may have been covered on the CT list, but I'm not on there
for exactly the reasons Jens stated: too much noise.
Brant
----------
Already the recipient of early critical acclaim, the Cocteau Twins'
forthcoming full length album Milk & Kisses was just released to
College Radio on April 29 where it was #1 most added at CMJ, Gavin
college and Hits Indie Rock! "Tishbite," the first track, will be
released to Commercial Alternative and AAA radio on May 13 and Milk &
Kisses will be in stores on May 14.
As part of the launch, the Cocteau Twins will perform for a live
internet simulcast, broadcast from their own September Sound Studios
in London on May 22. "Lunchtime With The Coctea Twins" will take place
at 12:00 noon in Los Angeles (9:00 pm in teh UK), and it will be
broadcast using Real Audio. Produced by the Cocteau Twins and Capitol
Records New Media in conjunction with Traffic Interactive, the netcast
can be accessed via the Capitol Records website on the worldwide web
at http://hollywoodandvine.com or the Cocteau Twins site at
and it did NOT work. The link on the Dewdrops web page still works
though.]
The band -- Robin Guthrie, Elizabeth Fraser and Simon Raymonde -- will
begin a US tour in Atlanta on June 7. Although the opening act is
still to be announced, concertgoers can stay after the Cocteau
performance as DJ Mark Clifford of Seefeel/Disjecta will spin late
into the night. The Cocteau tour will conclude with a performance at
the first Lollapalooza show, in Longview Lake, near Kansas City,
Missouri on June 27. They will fill the "guest slot" playing
immediately prior to Soundgarden. A partial itenerary is listed below,
but more sates and details will be announced shortly.
The uniquitous Cocteau Twins are also featured on the forthcoming
soundtrack to the highly anticipated Bernardo Bertolucci film,
Stealing Beauty. The beautiful, yet haunting "Alice" was written after
the band saw this equally beautiful and sensual film that will
premiere at the Cannes film festival. The Stealing Beauty soundtrack
will be in stores on May 28. The film opens in New York and Los
Angeles on June 14, and in July nationally.
The acclaim of two recent EP releases, the largely acoustic
"Twinlights" and the more ambient "Otherness" is only superceded by
the glowing critical response that Milk & Kisses is already receiving!
Buzz magazine says, "One of their best albums to date, filled with
ethereal, hypnotic compositions." Entertainment Weekly raves,
"listening to the Cocteau Twins is as soothing as sipping warm herbal
tea. The band's latest dreamscape floats on shimmering guitar waves
and celestial vocal harmonies, but it's more than an aural sedative,
mixing melody and atmosphere in just the right dose to guarantee many
memorable listens." Interview chimes, "The Twins' sustaining blend of
soft, metallic melodies and cobweb-fine vocals urge the listener onto
glorious landscapes with ridges for the imagination to fill in."
The Cocteau Twins US Itinerary

June 9 Washington DC 9:30 Club
June 10 Boston Avalon

>they're on tooth and nail records -- not a christian label, but one who
>carries a lot of christian bands. that's why.
um... tooth and nail *IS* a christian label, just without the typical crappy
sounding contemporary music that has been steroetyped as the christian "sound"
that's all.
>starflyer 59, also on tooth and nail, are also really good.
i can confirm that starflyer's really good, and christian too...
>information...they sell direct, though if i remember right, they're a bit on
>the expensive side ($10 for an ep, $14 for a full-length, or something like
>that.) starflyer 59's "she's the queen" ep is really good i've heard.
isn't that including shipping, though?...
you can also request a catalog.

oh my god. if you live in l.a. and you didn't go to this then you deserve
to be smacked. this is the koolest line-up in muzik. we should all
know about mojave three, richard davies the new zealander along with eric
matthews called themselves cardinal and made one of the best records i
have ever heard in my entire life, and the smooth sounds of charlie haden's
son playing bass and singing those beautiful, lush songs. can someone who
went review these live performances for me. thanks.

tooth and nail records is a non-denominational christian label. every act
on tooth and nail are a christian band. they have a lot of bands on the
label, most i don't like. they have a band called mxpx which sounds and
looks like social distortion west coast bands and they also have bands
that totally fit the "christian reprocessed rock" image. however, tooth
and nail do have three bands that i think are really talented and really
good. they happen to be christian. i don't care really which god a band
prays to as long as they don't try to make me do the same. these three
bands are bands that are good.
first off are velour 100. they have a new record out called "fall
sounds" and it's the most listy thing on the label because of trey many.
trey has played drums on the his name is alive albums "home is in your
head" and on "mouth by mouth." he has even written a song that appears on
the new album "stars on esp." trey also plays on 4*A*D and simple
machines' liqourice. on the velour 100 he plays pretty much all the
instruments while amon krist sings. warren defever recorded this album "in
time stereo." i love the new album, but not as much as there e.p. that was
released by the band themselves at live shows. to best describe velour
would be to think of a straight forward slow his name is alive song with
the vocal sounds of sarah shannon of velocity girl. the vocals, i find to
be very beautiful and somewhat undescernable.
the next band i like are starflyer 59. these guys rock the
shoegazing style very well. the obvious comparison is to my bloody
valentine or spacey husker du. "she's the queen" e.p. is their nicest
work. the "gold album" is rougher at times, kind of like my bloody
valentine's first album or like curve. the "silver album" is really great.
fuzzy and floaty and thanks to the big muff peddals. the vocals are tired
and dreamy andi guess i'm a sucker for wall of sounds. if you like
guitars, than here you go.
the third and last band is morella's forest. i really like this
band. when i first heard them they reminded me of medicine, but they are
not that tough. then i thought they sounded like curve, but not that
fuzzy. morella's forest has nice female vocals over some edgey guitars and
bass. they also have this teen beat type quality to their records. anyway,
if you like they bands that i dropped off in this crazy review then you
might like morella's forest.
i'd pretty much stay away from everything else that is on tooth
and nail, not because they are christian, it's just that they are not all
that good or original. the last three bands that i have mentioned aren't
the most original bands either, but they mix their influences very well
and i appreciate their records.

Hi,
I went through my 4AD posters and found some spare ones I'd like to swap for
other 4AD posters or postcards and the like. All posters are UK originals and
in mint condition unless indicated otherwise. If you should find anything of
interest and if you have something to offer, please get in touch PRIVATELY, not
via the list.

Got HNIA's 'Universal Frequencies' in the mail, this morning, from the 4AD
Subscription Service. People in the UK must have got it on Saturday or
Monday already. With a release date of May the 28th, this is the first
release I get from the 4AD Subscr. Serv. before it's in the shops. Thanks to
the new 4AD mailorder guy Tim, I think!!!
7" AD 6007 'Universal Frequencies'
A. 'Beech Boys'
B. ''Summer Of E.S.P.'
CD BAD 6007 CD 'Universal Frequencies'
1. 'Beech Boys'
2. 'Up Your Legs Forever'
3. 'Summer Of E.S.P.'
4. 'Your Word Against Mine'
5. ???
'Beech Boys' is indeed very Beach Boys (wonderful track!) and 'Summer Of
E.S.P.' is very ESP Summer, with some ESP Family tossed in. 'Up Your Legs
Forever' is more like the stuff on HIIYH, while 'Your Word Against Mine' is
somewhere between HIIYH and MBM. According to the tracklist on the back of
the CD digikak, there must be a 5th track to tagged on, but I've not been
able yet to find out where the 4th track ends and the 5th track starts. Or
is it a joke, maybe?
The artwork is excellent. The front cover looks a bit like a 60's/70's jazz
record sleeve, and v23 have designed a nice new Blue Note-ish HNIA logo.
I wonder who the freshly married couple on the back are. Oh, and the
tracklist of 'Stars On ESP (CAD 6010) is already on the inside panel of the
didgipak.
The tray, with a pic. of Warren Defever under the hole, is orange, and the
orange H of HNIA on the inside panel is extra larger, so they support
Holland during the European Championships next month in England. Great!
Frank
P.S. this being a 7" + CD-EP release, I assume there's a promo-only 12"
version too.

Talk around LA is that 4AD has signed The Paladins. Good move, it is about
time someone released this band. THey have been one of the most respected
bands in LA for a while, but no opportunities. I am sure you will be a
little suprised by their sound, but their is one thing they do have in common
with the rest of the 4AD roster, they are extremely talented.
