Also I do have their first rare cassette release "Time Clock Turns Back" (with a picture of a monkey on the cover) but it's really not very good compared to the rest of their entire career.

Good god, and I remember when she was born.
Exact WAAAHT reaction I had, as well! I mean, it seems like Heaven or Las Vegas came out a few years ago, which I think was the one with all the clucky baby-themed songs on (like "suckling the mender" and "pur" with its "I'm glad you are a girl/I'm pleased to know you" etc etc.

Considering there's people like Diamanda Galas out there, this somehow feels a wee teeny bit hyperbolic.
― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 15 January 2007 02:45 (seventeen years ago) link
No mention of the sublime "Candleland" she did with Ian McCulloch? I think it's only on the single version though. Someone should put together a playlist with just her collaborations.
― Mr. Odd, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 00:05 (sixteen years ago) link
So whatever did happen to this solo album?
― Trayce, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 03:30 (sixteen years ago) link
her website now has a bit for a mailing list, & i was reading something earlier about the album being nearly finished, working with ex spiritualized people etc etc. but now i cant find it!

I think I remember hearing that very tidbit 5 years ago. :\

I'm having a hard time justifying, as an atheist, why Jeff Buckley & Liz Fraser should ever have been in the same room together recording a song. "All Flowers In Time", etc. It absolutely defies the existence of a god, you understand that? That those two individuals should have sung on the same track ever in their lives is absolutely insane. That's better than any flavor of ice cream you might find in your town.

Elizabeth Fraser back (with silver hair)!
interview
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/nov/26/cocteau-twins-elizabeth-fraser-interview
For 18 years, she was the 'voice of God' in the Cocteau Twins. Now Elizabeth Fraser finds it too difficult even to think about her old bandmates
Moses is out on 7in and download on Rough Trade on 30 November.
― djmartian, Thursday, 26 November 2009 22:57 (fourteen years ago) link
Fantastic interview, very frank! She's aged so much so recently it seems! Maybe Ive just not seen pics of her in about 5-6 years.
― hulk would smash (Trayce), Thursday, 26 November 2009 23:43 (fourteen years ago) link
oooh looking forward to Moses
― sonderangerbot, Friday, 27 November 2009 00:02 (fourteen years ago) link
Good interview. I am so glad she never did anything with linkin park. I don't even want to imagine how awkward that would sound like.

wow! i have no idea where her music is at these days (does anyone? other than some appearances with massive attack recently?) but will definitely check out.
also, i just read through that guardian interview posted upthread (https://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/nov/26/cocteau-twins-elizabeth-fraser-interview) and she mentions the unreleased/unfinished duet with jeff buckley that bimble was raving about upthread. i had never heard the song! it's really, really lovely, instantly one of my favorites of either of their careers:

Sounds like Topographic Oceans era Yes.

(Not meant as a compliment or insult. Just my gut reaction. But of all the things I thought it might sound like, that was surely towards the bottom of the list.)

Not an inapt comparison.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 6 April 2022 18:59 (two years ago) link
Sounds nothing like "Topographic" YES to me but it's pretty nice.
― SQUIRREL MEAT!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Wednesday, 6 April 2022 19:16 (two years ago) link
Yeah, as much as it kind of caught me off guard, I dig it on secind listen.
― Let's disco dance, Hammurabi! (Austin), Wednesday, 6 April 2022 19:35 (two years ago) link
this is pretty nice
kind of amazing that it's finally getting a release, she performed it in 2012 at one of her rare live appearances along with other unreleased solo material
― ufo, Wednesday, 6 April 2022 21:31 (two years ago) link
I did have the "this sounds like 70s British pastoral prog folk" sort of reaction myself! Then it kind of Cocteau'ed out a bit in the later part. I gather this stuffs been percolating for a decade or more which.. cmon wee lass, get a move on.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 7 April 2022 06:12 (two years ago) link
her voice sounds great but this is a bit too florid and tasteful
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 7 April 2022 16:00 (two years ago) link
"70s British pastoral prog folk" is one of my favorite sounds on earth but I'm not really hearing that per se here other than that it's a bit pastoral and not very Cocteaus-y guitarwise. I think it's great though.
"she performed it in 2012 at one of her rare live appearances" was this the show Steve Hackett played guitar for?
― akm, Thursday, 7 April 2022 17:58 (two years ago) link
Hackett plays guitar on the released song.
― bulb after bulb, Thursday, 7 April 2022 18:18 (two years ago) link
Correct - re Hackett in 2012.
Setlist website says this was the last song before the encore and my memory is that people went nuts for it...
― Michael Jones, Thursday, 7 April 2022 18:19 (two years ago) link
That’s Hackett on gtr?! (heh heh). Noice!!
― SQUIRREL MEAT!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Thursday, 7 April 2022 18:53 (two years ago) link
The full EP has been out awhle now and it is great! Especially "Apples". The youtubes have lyrics posted. Crazy.
