The Sisters' seminal second album, a minimal dark wave gothic masterpiece almost entirely performed by Sisters' headman Andrew Eldritch and the band's drum machine Doktor Avalanche.
Garlands was the Cocteau Twins debut album, released in the early Fall 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'
Floodland is filled with lush production and lyric imagery that is both scary and glorious. The slower tracks, like 'Flood' and '1959', are some of the best ethereal sounds goth has to offer. A definite milestone.
