简介:


可能Cocteau Twins 82年发布的第一张EP的封面是他们音乐最好的注释,上面的图案是Cocteau Twins永恒的图腾——那是一种绚烂狂野的美、一种特立独行的魄力,是力与美的精巧平衡,是游移于黑暗与光明之间、远离尘世的一个音乐乌托邦。
毫无疑问,Cocteau Twins是现代音乐中的一个奇迹——即使没有万人馆的现场演出和几百万的唱片销量;几乎没有任何商业宣传,并始终对媒体保持着低调的态度,但他们的音乐却进行了一场悄无声息的变革——深刻的改变了人们对音乐的认知观念,重新定义了80年代的后朋克音乐和所谓‘4AD之声’,影响了90年代以及之后的几代音乐家:无数乐队曾公开表示CT的音乐对他们产生了巨大影响,甚至包括Prince、Madonna、Annie Lennox 和 A Perfect Circle这些风格迥异的艺人;而被看作是独立音乐界的传奇乐队如Slowdive、My Bloody Valentine、Lush、Curve等都曾受益于CT的音乐启示并在他们所拓展的疆土中创作。
Cocteau Twins也是罕见的多产乐队之一:在他们长达15年的音乐生涯中,共创作了10张LP,近20张单曲,共计约140首歌曲。十五年中三人几乎是朝夕相处,往返于家门和录音室之间:他们的音乐和生活已经密不可分,即使Liz婚后产下和Robin的爱女Belle不久,他们仍然录制了被无数乐迷认为是最完美的《Heaven or Las Vegas》——一张温暖的足以融化坚冰的专辑,Liz的声音充满了母性的温柔与慈爱。可以说CT的每张专辑不仅记录了他们音乐上的发展进化,也记录了他们生活和人生意义上的每一次成熟与兑变。
Cocteau Twins标志性不可模仿的声音,为他们赢得了世界范围内的无数乐迷的由衷喝彩与爱戴,即使在乐队解体数年之后,热情不减的乐迷们仍期津津乐道liz那些不为人知的谜样的隐语,搜集乐队一切未曾发表的哪怕最微不足道的音乐片段,试图揭开始终围绕他们的神秘面纱,并最终期待他们的重组,虽然这在乐队成员来看是不可能发生发生的事情。
关于音乐他们自己又是怎么说的呢?
“你必须不断提醒你自己的是,‘我们做音乐是为了什么?因为那是音乐,因为那对我们是如此的重要。’别人认同、喜爱你的音乐固然很了不起,但那不是你做音乐的理由,你做是因为你真的不敢想象如果不做会怎么样。” —— Simon Raymonde
"What you have to keep reminding yourself is, 'Why do we do this? Because of the music and because of how important it is to us.' It's great that other people are into it, too, but that's not the reason you do it. You do it because you can't really imagine not doing it." — Simon Raymonde
关于那些喜欢指挥他们音乐方向的乐评和乐迷:
“如果你真的喜爱某样东西,那你就必须随它去,不仅认同那些最初吸引的的地方,还有关于它的一切。这和爱情或其他关系一样:我们必须同样的对待,否则最终将会窒息它、扼杀它。” —— Elizabeth Fraser
"If you really love something, then you have to let it go and endorse everything about it that attracted you to it in the first place. It's just like a love affair or any relationship: you have to treat it in the same way or you'll just suffocate and destroy it in the end if you don't." — Elizabeth Fraser

成员介绍:

Founded in 1981 by Robin Guthrie, Will Heggie and Elizabeth Fraser, the Cocteau Twins have always been a threesome. In 1983, Will Heggie departed the band and, in 1984, Simon Raymonde joined Robin and Liz. This lineup would be the de-facto Cocteau Twins until their breakup in 1998.


Born: August 29, 1963 in Grangemouth, Scotland.
Liz is the vocalist and lyricist in Cocteau Twins, and co-founded the group in Scotland in 1981 with her long-time companion Robin Guthrie and their friend Will Heggie. Her unique vocal stylings and mysterious, indecipherable lyrics have generated much debate over the years, but she has often been taciturn on the matter when asked about it.


Born: January 4, 1962 in Grangemouth, Scotland.
Robin is a co-founder of Cocteau Twins, and is one of the principal songwriters and musicians. Robin's unique style of guitar-playing and songwriting—not to mention his deft production skills in the recording studio—have earned him the respect of musicians throughout the world.


Born: April 3, 1962 in Tottenham, England.
Simon, along with Robin, is a principal songwriter and musician in Cocteau Twins. Having joined Liz and Robin in 1984, Simon has helped shape the signature "Cocteau sound" since then—primarily with bass, guitar, and piano.
