This is my long overdue pingback to the Cocteau Twins' 1990 LP, _Heaven or Las Vegas_.

 

Thank you for your interest in my work. Your kind words, praise and image faves are highly encouraging and deeply appreciated.

Cocteau Twins were a Scottish rock trio (1979 to 1997)

Here is a sample video (with bokeh!): youtu.be/L_Tj4bJ0VFw

 

Theirs was a distinctive sound described at the time as "ethereal goth;" which begat a music subgenre now called "synthwave," "darkwave," "shoegazer," or "dream pop."

 

One would listen to their LP records (or CDs) from start to finish; single songs just weren't enough! They were a posterchild for 4AD, a British independent record label that packaged albums with visually distinctive identities that incorporated abstract images like my photograph above.
