In this exploration of Cocteau Twins' quintessential album Chris Tapley traces lines in all directions from Blue Bell Knoll to paint a revealing portrait of the enigmatic trio and their career-long struggles with self-doubt stubborn principles and pure experimentation. Throughout their career Cocteau Twins sought to escape definition. Lyrics were a closely guarded secret their transcendent recordings sounded completely unique and they were notoriously tight-lipped during interviews. The music they said should speak for itself. Only nobody could agree on what the music said. Released in 1988 their fifth full-length album Blue Bell Knoll is the pinnacle of Cocteau Twins' legendary ambiguity. The first album recorded entirely in their own studio these dense dreamlike songs capture the band as they refined the key elements of their iconic sound while testing the limits of language and the mixing desk. From lyrics and production to artwork and interviews everything about this influential one-of-a-kind band stokes contradictions and uncertainty and raises the question: can anyone ever really define what a song means?
