-ella megalast burls forever

-how to bring a blush to the snow

-milk & kisses

-pandora (for cindy)

-sunburst and snowblind

-glass candle grenades

like similar imagery idk—i have a vision of you frolicking in a spring field in a airy seashell-pink tulle dress, or dissolving into sea foam dramatically

i wish i could dissolve dramatically into the sea. or live up to this incredible imagery, LOL. actually, after I got your ask, I went to spotty and made a little playlist complied with the songs I could find from your list!! So thank-you for the new music, Anon. 🥺🌷💕

(given the imagery you painted — seashell-pink tulle and dissolving into sea foam — I thought it’d be fun to disclose that I have frolicked in a pink-tulle dress. :’) Multiple times, actually, now that I’m thinking about it which is weird BUT; in this case in particular I did a vanity shoot with a friend (highly recommend lmao) and almost immediately thought of this photo from the set, in particular, when I read your words.)

Tysm!! 2: have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?: Mary Oliver and I literally share the same brain, I wish I got to meet her :( 4: do you like your name?  is there another name you think would fit you better?: Ehhh it’s okay and fits me but the names Rosemary, Violet, Wendy, and Autumn?? I would die for those names 15: five most influential books over your lifetime: 1. Don’t Know Much About Geography by Kenneth C. Davis 2. Our World by Molly Malone Cook and Mary Oliver 3.

I’ve only read like 30 pages into the first Harry Potter book but the test said I was a Hufflepuff! Fitting 29: three songs that you connect with right now: 1. Sea, Swallow Me by Cocteau Twins 2. Mary by Big Thief 3. Ella Megalast Burls Forever by Cocteau Twins

Blue Bell Knoll, Cocteau Twins (1988)

Blue Bell Knoll might be known for its exemplary production; for its expansion of the Twins’ ethereal wave toward a more layered, structured and defined sound more akin to modern dream pop than shoegaze; for a couple of tracks here that still stand out as some of the band’s most emphatic, memorable material. But once someone points out the glaring irritabilities here, they’re impossible to ignore. Rolling ‘r’s and tee-hee-hees. Two crucial, unavoidable vocal tropes that Elizabeth Fraser rarely utilised on other Twins records, but are dominant here. Not that they spoil the record, they merely make it more difficult for other elements to make up for their over-reliant tropisms.  In truth, only two tracks overshadow Fraser to the point of compliment. ‘Blue Bell Knoll’ has fluttering synths and the might of a horns section behind it that add something enchanting about Fraser’s chuckling vocal fluctuations and ridiculously-rolled ‘r’s; while the graceful finality of the chord progression on ‘Ella Megalast Burls Forever’ could carry any tune. The rest isn’t so much unenjoyable, but more typical of what one will have heard on all the Twins’ records prior to this. Blue Bell Knoll was an accumulation of all their sounds up to its release and is a record that doubtlessly will appeal to anyone who found themselves endeared to the band’s previous work, but isn’t as distinctive as Victorialand, as eye-opening as Treasure, nor as perfectly refined as Heaven or Las Vegas.

Pick: ‘Blue Bell Knoll’

Ten favorite albums

TOUGH one but here’s a shot (vaguely In order, number one will always be:1.) HERE COME THE WARM JETS by eno!!! can’t stress enough how much this album means to me2.) the madcap laughs by syd barrett! nostalgia reasons but also it’s just. so nice.3.) 1999 by prince. total damn classic4.) blue bell knoll by cocteau twins!!! I have so many good memories w/this album, ella megalast burls forever is one of the most beautiful things ever recorded5.) (list gets a little more flexible here) Feels by animal collective! Hard to describe the amount of joy i first felt when i heard this album. a lot of nice summer nights with it6.) The Entire Grouper Discography (or just dream loss) because her music really just hits In a Way that nothing else quite does7.) more songs about buildings and food by talking heads!! i could make a case for any of the first 5 heads albums but i always get drawn back to this one8.) TMBG’s s/t... maybe it’s nostalgia again but i could never get tired of it...9.) white light/white heat by TVU... another one that just. blew my lil highschool mind to bits. opened the door for me to find a whole bunch of other things10.) for now, lets go with strange cacti by angel olsen! i think the song “if it’s alive it will” justifies a spotthank you!! maybe one day ill try and accurately rank my top 10.
