A whole new age of psychedelia kicked off in the mid-‘80s, of dream-weavers and glorious underachievers, a complete rejection of the standard rock approach to stagecraft, sound and self-promotion. Simon Reynolds was at the heart of it, writing for Melody Maker and piping aboard the pioneering noise-mongers aiming to entrance and disorientate, as recalled in his new book ‘Still In A Dream: Shoegaze, Slackers and the Reinvention of Rock 1984-1994'. He looks back with us here from his home in Los Angeles at its key bands, events and spiritual godfathers, these among them … … the return to childhood via Syd Barrett and Jonathan Richman to Sarah Records … is ‘feeble little horse' the most Shoegaze band name ever? ... what it was about Morrissey that made Smiths singles sink after Top Of The Pops … the reason Bowie formed a band … charming/infuriating interviews with the Cocteau Twins: “words only have any meaning when they're sung” … how Britpop brought down the curtain of the wall of sound … Shoegaze, Dreampop, Lovelynoise, Wide-Brimmed Hat Music and the rock press attempt to impose order: “if a band was on the cover they could double their fee” ... the divine arrogance of Lawrence of Felt who “didn't want ordinary people buying my records” … the ever-extending “noise chasms” of My Bloody Valentine … “shattering quartz”: reviewing music that's about sound not words … Shoegaze DNA in the 21st Century ... and the greatest album of that decade, “each track like a session beer”.

Baxie speaks with Simon Raymonde of The Cocteau Twins! Simon has just released an amazing memoir entitled “In One Ear: Cocteau Twins, Ivor, and Me”. This is a tremendous book in which Simon not only talks about the band and their unconventional way of making some of the best albums of the 1980's (and early 90's). He also talks about the legacy of his father, Ivor Raymonde, whose own credits in music include David Bowie, Dusty Springfield, The Walker Brothers, Tom Jones, and hundreds more. We also talk about his record label Bella Union Records, the state of the music industry, and about the frightening health scare that stripped him of 50% of his hearing. Just an amazing story! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app. Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee.

Une sorte de grâce envoûtante et un premier album aux arrangements fastueux qui évoque les meilleurs moments dʹAmy Winehouse sont autant de raison de sʹintéresser à Roxane. Autre sujet réjouissant, le label 4 AD qui a marqué les années 80 avec des dizaines dʹartistes comme les Pixies, Bauhaus et les Cocteau Twins. Une saga racontée par Eric Tavernier.

Jakso 270. Mitäs tiesit näistä yhtyeistä? Tämän viikon lähetyksessä käydään läpi yhtyeitä, jotka ovat syystä tai toisesta nyt mielen päällä tai yleisesti olleet maailmalla nosteessa.

In Episode 4 of Seeing Tarot, artist Anna Rose Stabler and tarot reader Gina Wisotzky continue their card-by-card exploration of the tarot, moving through the aces of the Minor Arcana.Rather than defining cards through fixed meanings, this podcast explores what happens when you live with their energy over time: through art-making, daily life, season, and conversation.This month's focus: The Ace of CupsIn this episode, Anna and Gina discuss:* Water as a fluid, transformative element that dissolves the hardness of Swords and Wands into something tender and ineffable* The shadow side of Cups: beneath the softness, what is sinister, soporific, and hidden* The Grail legend as tarot mirror: the holy fool, purity of heart, and the quest for impossible wholeness* How the five streams in the card's imagery connect to the senses and the facets of being alive* The upside-down M on the chalice and its possible allusion to the Virgin Mary* Rachel Pollack's framing of the Ace of Cups as “an emblem of love underpinning life”* Psychedelics, blue lotus, and states of perception beyond language* The Cocteau Twins as the ultimate Cups band* Gina's March forecast and how the Eight of Cups, Ten of Cups, and Six of Wands illuminate the art of following the flow* Anna's illustration process: gray skies, a sun-sized wafer, and a Medieval-style border* A preview of the Ace of Pentacles and the turn toward earthThe conversation moves freely between the mystical and the grounded — from Arthurian legend and Gnostic Christianity to perfume and Pokémon. The Ace of Cups emerges the place where the full spectrum of emotional life gathers: seeking, melancholy, beauty, and the underlying unity beneath it all.References & InfluencesThe Grail Legend by Emma Jung and Marie-Louise von FranzSeventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Rachel PollackThe Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer BradleyElaine Pagels and the Gnostic GospelsThe Cocteau TwinsAce of Cups MoodboardScents & Sensory CorrespondencesAce of CupsFragranceGina's PickParfum de Thérèse by Frédéric Malle — created by Edmond Roudnitska in the late 1950s for his wife, who wore it exclusively until Frédéric Malle later brought it to market. Notes of melon, green violet, and moss that together evoke a secret shaded pool with water lilies — romantic, melancholy, and quietly watery.Anna's PickUn Jardin sur le Nil by Hermès — light, aquatic, luminous. Anna's mother's signature fragrance.Natural MaterialStill water and lily padsRain on a gray afternoonViolets Blue lotus (flagged for future Cups exploration)EnvironmentA shaded garden pool, secret and stillClouds heavy before rainThe surface of things — and what moves beneathAbout the HostsGina Wisotzky The founder of Incandescent Tarot, Gina has been reading and practicing tarot and the intuitive arts for over two decades. Her work weaves tarot, writing, seasonal practice, and somatic inquiry through readings, classes, and audio reflections.Incandescent Tarot / AlchemagAnna Rose Stabler Anna Rose Stabler is an illustrator whose work centers symbolism, still life, and narrative imagery.

Ouça aqui a segunda parte da conversa com o músico David Fonseca, que aqui fala do seu lado esteta, evidente nas criações visuais que envolvem os seus discos, concertos, fotografias, videoclipes e nas roupas que veste. E chega a atirar o nome de um artista icónico da pop mundial com quem teria o gosto de usar todo o seu guarda-roupa. David revela ainda que apesar da imagem pública algo “taciturna”, leva a vida com "extremo humor" e "parvoíce generalizada", como forma eficaz de se manter alerta para o ridículo das coisas E ainda partilha algumas das preciosidades musicais que tem garimpado e ouvido repetidamente, deixa várias sugestões culturais e lê um poema de Eugénio de Andrade. Isto e outras surpresas. Boas escutas! Músicas: 1 - David Fonseca, "Nada a Perder" - Single do próximo disco a sair no último trimestre deste ano. 2- Cocteau Twins, “Wolf in the Breast” — "Esta ou qualquer deste disco, a banda que menos envelheceu, pelo contrário, parece que brilha mais através dos tempos com uma certa modernidade e estranheza, únicos e inimitáveis. Têm o condão de estabelecer uma sensação imediata que vai variando com o sítio onde estou na vida." 3 - Geese, "Taxes" — "Uma das bandas que mais me entusiasmou nos últimos anos, têm tudo o que uma banda nova devia ter, muita lata, sem medo de arriscar, inovadora mas com referências óptimas, deixam-me mais confuso do que estava antes de os ouvir. Esta canção apanhou-me desprevenido e ouvia-a 50 vezes seguidas quando a descobri." 4 — Middle Kids, "Terrible News" — "gosto de descobrir canções e bandas sem qualquer tipo de referência e ouço muitas coisas que não gosto para descobrir as que gosto. Esta canção estava no meio de mil canções sugeridas pelos serviços de streaming e é a minha preferida desde então para conduzir, andar de bicicleta, cozinhar, dançar, enfim. Ouço-a e entro logo neste espírito." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Baxie speaks with Ben Easton from the band Deary. After releasing two amazing EPs over the last couple of years, Deary is about to release their debut full-length record on April 3rd. The name of the album is called “Birding”. It's also being released by Bella Union record (which is owned by Simon Raymonde of the Cocteau Twins). It's a huge leap forward for a band that finally finding its voice! Great record…great interview!

On today's show, we heard fresh tracks from Menzies, xiao xiao and Altın Gün, attic classics by Cocteau Twins and Tangled Shoelaces, plus some of bFM's current high-rotate favourites by Grecco Romank and Vera Ellen. Thanks to The Tuning Fork

Sorti en 1998, "Mezzanine" marque un tournant majeur pour le collectif de Bristol, pionnier du trip-hop. Plus sombre, plus hypnotique, ce troisième album impose une atmosphère nocturne et cinématographique, à l'image de sa pochette devenue culte, ornée d'un scarabée noir et blanc en gros plan. Le disque s'ouvre avec "Angel", montée en tension progressive qui explose dans un mur de guitares saturées. Les basses profondes et les ambiances oppressantes se prolongent sur "Inertia Creeps", tandis que "Dissolved Girl" dévoile une facette plus sensuelle. Le groupe revisite également "Man Next Door" des The Paragons dans une version minimaliste et glaçante, portée par la voix quasi fantomatique d'Horace Andy. Plus aérien, "Black Milk" accueille Elizabeth Fraser, chanteuse des Cocteau Twins, que l'on retrouve aussi sur "Teardrop", plus grand succès du disque. Œuvre majeure des années 90, sombre, élégante et immersive, "Mezzanine" reste un Hébergé par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

"Scotland has always had a strong pull on my imagination and I've always wanted to visit. This sound file was my first choice from the many offered by Cities & Memory for their Autumn Project. Coincidentally, this past summer, while vacationing with my family in Assateague, Virginia, I made a recording of the ocean shore while standing on the beach. When I began the Autumn Project, I decided to use both as a sort of bridge between my real life in the United States and my imagined life in Scotland.  "Most of the music here was from an ambient piece I came up with during a Sunday morning session a week or two ago. My working title for it was Midnight Mariner. Other sonic elements added for this new piece evoke the bell of a buoy rolling in the waves, the ethereal singing of the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser, and a muffled, indistinct drum pattern that sounds as if it is being played underwater.  "This submission was composed/assembled on my iPad inside the host software app AUM. I used a variety of iOS instruments and effects singly and in combination, including apps by Klevgrand, Bleass, Baby Audio, Audio Kit, Octachron, Fugue Machine, and Bram Bos. Some mixing was done automatically using MIDI controllers and LFOs, and some manually with a NanoKontrol2.  "Playing throughout the piece are two seashore sound recordings that complement each other nicely. The original sound file from the Isle of Skye is panned slightly left, and a similar sound file recorded while vacationing with my family at the beach in Assateague, Virginia, is panned slightly right." Waves in Elgol, Skye reimagined by daddy fall down.

In 2006, when the borders of progressive house were starting to blur and music started melting into the digital sphere, Balance 010 arrived with almost monastic ambition. Disc 2 is the heart of Balance 010, the warm midtempo arc that gives the entire three-disc structure its emotional weight. It rises slowly from ambient drift into soft breakbeats, glides through Cocteau Twins shimmer and Speedy J tension, and lands in that hypnotic space where Boards of Canada, Ellen Allien, Aphex Twin and Underworld all feel like parts of the same world. Critics consistently pointed to this disc as the most replayable, the most cinematic, the place where Jimmy's instinct for mood and narrative became unmistakable. It moves without forcing momentum, deepens without darkening, and closes on a fourteen-minute Underworld remix that turns the whole project into a pilgrimage. If Balance 10 has a centre of gravity, Disc 2 is it. CD2: Downtempo Mix 1. Miles Tilmann – Floating Windows 2. Miles Tilmann – Minutes 3. Steve T. – How Are You 4. Cocteau Twins – Blue Bell Knoll 5.

Drum Machines, Cocteau Twins & Christmas Albums for 2025In this episode of My Music, host Graham Coath hangs out with Kate Ramsey, the creative force behind The 'Rose Haze'. Expect drum machines, dream-pop, grief, Rubik's Cubes, AI, and a whole lot of heart.Kate talks about ordering a new drum machine to finish the tracks that she's been sitting on, and how the creative process can feel exactly like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube – easy on the first side, maddening on the last few. She shares the deeply personal story behind The Rose Haze's bold cover of “Heaven or Las Vegas” by Cocteau Twins, created with her late collaborator Ruben, and how that track has become a kind of headstone and hymn for him.Graham and Kate dive into:

On this episode, Marc talks with Simon Raymonde, author of "In One Ear: Cocteau Twins, Ivor, and Me," published in America in November of 2025. It's a sharp, enthusiastic, and funny memoir of Raymonde's life as a musician, member of the legendary UK band Cocteau Twins (with Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie), and owner of the vital indie record label Bella Union. Simon also delves into his relationship with his father Ivor, who was himself a renowned musician, producer, and arranger. It's all told with a sense of humor and wisdom that makes Simon's words practically leap off the page.As Simon writes, "It seems that my own past is no longer just a shoegazey blur of distant lights receding in the rear-view mirror; it is clearly visible in my present too. Cocteau Twins have never been as popular as we are now, almost three decades after we stopped making music."You can by Simon's book here.We. hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Simon Raymonde!

MyMusic with Graham Coath — Featuring Jill Goyeau from Talking VioletIn this episode of MyMusic, Graham sits down with the wonderfully thoughtful and wildly creative Jill Goyeau, vocalist, guitarist, and founding member of the Canadian dream-pop/shoegaze band Talking Violet.Recorded bright and early from Jill's Windsor, Ontario studio, this conversation dives into everything from the band's formation and evolving line-up to the renaissance of shoegaze and the artists who shaped Talking Violet's sound — think Slowdive, Cocteau Twins, Smashing Pumpkins, and more.Jill shares candid insights on songwriting, performing live with energy (yes, actual energy — no shoe-staring here), and the emotional honesty behind tracks like Destroy and Menagerie Queen. There's nostalgia, laughter, a discussion about alternative Christmas music, and even a detour into Irish slang.Whether you're discovering Talking Violet for the first time or you're already a fan, this episode is a gorgeous blend of music geekery, heartfelt storytelling, and genuine connection.Listen in for:The band's journey from duet to full-fledged shoegaze/alt-rock outfitJill's musical inspirations and favourite lyrical momentsA deep dive into dream-pop textures, live energy, and the modern shoegaze revivalInternational touring ambitions — including why the southwest of England definitely deserves a stopWhat really helps indie artists in 2025 (hint: engagement matters!)Plus, Graham gives Talking Violet's merch a well-deserved shout — because supporting independent music means more than just streaming.Hit play, discover your new favourite band, and—if you're on Spotify—remember: your thumb only needs to move that far.

We had a blast this week with the moody alternative band The Velvet Pouch.  Maddi sings in the style of dreamy goth acts like Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance, Siouxie etc., with beats from drummer Alex, hypnotic bass by Ajax and guitarist Vance who adds texture and shred, with a bit of a Jesus […]

Hey everyone,  This week we have Russell going a wedding and making a stop in a muddy field first, we talk 87/91 Twins, and we start our voicemail triptych.  Matt talks about the changes in Pearl Jam and life in Noth Dakota, and Aaron goes to multiple water parks while Rob has some water problems of his own.    Then we briefly discuss the Cocteau Twins and the top 100 album Heaven or Las Vegas, and mostly talk about the best Scottish bands ever.  Next week we are talking about LL Cool J and Mama Said Knock You Out. 

Hey folks,  We are back talking about Kanye again, but we also have some fun. We are talking songs with more than one horn, keeping track of our IDs, and talking about Nerd Clusters for longer than I remember.    We discuss Kanye and who this album influenced and the run he was in while also acknowledging he is a real problem overall.   Next week we are talking Cocteau Twins and Heaven or Las Vegas.

Natalie Lew, also known as Sea Lemon, released her debut album Diving for a Prize in June 2025 on Luminelle Recordings. Across 12 songs, reverb-heavy guitars wash underneath vocals that allude to made-up stories and unhealthy obsessions. For example, “Stay” draws inspiration from the real-life antics of an elderly security guard at a thrift store while “Rear View” pulls from Lew’s original fiction about a naive baseball player’s failing career. She proudly likens her sound to shoegaze pioneers Cocteau Twins. KEXP’s Roddy Nikpour talks with Sea Lemon about launching her music career in New York and moving back to her hometown of Seattle. She has since opened for American Football in two sold-out shows and collaborated with Northwest music legend Ben Gibbard — all within five years of picking up a guitar for the first time. “I was an insanely big Death Cab fan as a kid,” Lew says in the interview. “Ben reached out to me over Instagram. Somehow, he had found my music outside of realizing the fact that I was in Seattle. Then we played a show together, and we did a song together, ‘Crystals,’ which was the first song that I recorded for my album. It all came together so funnily, and it felt like the smallest world.” Support the show: kexp.org/deeper Photo Credit: Rachel BennettSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Waves of pulsing, layered techno from the revered Mala Junta resident. If the electronic music industry is caught in the crosshairs of a battle over what makes for true techno, then D.Dan is one of the underground's great modern emissaries. A figurehead from the new guard of DJs to arise in the '20s, the Berlin-based artist and Mala Junta resident is an ambassador for a sound that is strongly anchored in the classic roots of techno. His productions, like his mixes, are revved-up takes on the hypnotic wormholes that defined dance floors last decade, but with a fresh (and high BPM) millennial twist. Originally from Seattle, D.Dan became enamoured with the spectral stylings of psych rock and shoegaze in adolescence. It's not difficult to see how the cosmic tapestry of bands like Cocteau Twins became a blueprint for the entrancing music he's gone on to make as an adult. His releases on Mutant Future and summerpup are latticeworks of loops and layered percussion, custom-tooled for lost hours on the dance floor and drawn-out mixes behind the decks. This approach directly extends into his DJ practice, where he pairs song selections from contemporaries that mirror his own reduced, controlled approach to techno. RA.994 is a Grade A display of contemporary four-to-the-floor from flagbearers like Roll Dann and Marcal. And like D.Dan's standalone records, his RA Podcast finds room for sweetness—the intermittent peal of an open clap, the steady ripening of a chord—while ultimately emphasising the beauty of function and form over flair. @ddan-sounds Find the full interview and tracklist at ra.co/podcast/994

If you're an avid podcast listener, you've likely heard one of Richard Fidler's Conversations. For 20 years he's been chatting with people from all walks of life, making the Conversations podcast one of the most popular in Australia. So as they mark this big 20th birthday, I thought it'd be fun to flip the mic on Richard. Because his story begins long ago, as a founding member of the Doug Anthony Allstars, and host of Race Around the World. In 2016 Richard published his first non fiction book Ghost Empire, and since then has written three more (Saga Land, Golden Maze, and The Book of Roads and Kingdoms).He is a curious soul, a master storyteller, and you're about to relish in his tales.T.

Peter Capaldi – aka Malcolm Tucker, Dr Who, the universal screen delight and an Oscar-winning film director – was the singer in the punk band the Dreamboys in the late ‘70s who put out a single when he was at the art school in Glasgow. And then became an actor. And then - in the grand tradition of actors who've made albums, Hugh Laurie, Scarlett Johansson, Jeff Bridges and Keanu Reeves among them – released St Christopher in 2021. He's just recorded a second, Sweet Illusions, and talks to us in this extremely funny and entertaining pod about … … how his sole motivation was “a burning desire to be on the telly”. … the difference between fronting bands and being in plays. … how he grievously stitched up support band the Cocteau Twins at a gig in Grangemouth. … a teenage love of Slade - “a bit terrifying but still a bit safe”. … first-hand evidence of the connection between Blakey from On the Buses, Adolph Hitler and Beatles. … “you have to write a hundred songs before you can write a good one”. … arriving at art school in '76 a Neil Young fan and his overnight transformation – “peroxide hair, PVC trousers and bright red crepe sole shoes”. … seeing Simple Minds at the Mars Bar in Glasgow, Jim Kerr with his Shakespearian haircut, “strange, powerful, imaginative, post-glam”. … forming the Dreamboys and “trying to be big, clever and Kafka-esque”. … the stigma of being virtually the only band in Glasgow not to get a John Peel session. … writing the “bizarro pulp” lyrics for the Dreamboys – “we couldn't decide if we were the Cramps or Talking Heads”. … what's required, “apart from a terrible Scouse accent”, in playing John Lennon onstage and George Harrison onscreen. … auditioning (comedian, actor, TV host) Craig Ferguson as the band's drummer.   … how Bill Forsyth launched his acting career: “one minute you're supporting Altered Images, the next in a movie with Burt Lancaster”. … forming a duo with Keanu Reeves when filming Dangerous Liaisons in Paris – powdered wigs in the daytime, guitar/bass punk-thrash at night. .. the romantic Edward Hopper charm of Glasgow in the ‘70s - proto-goths, street lights, rain. … how Dr Robert of the Blow Monkeys and four months filming The Suicide Squad in Atlanta spurred him into writing songs.   … the greatest record of all time. Order the Sweet Illusions album here:https://shop.lastnightfromglasgow.com/products/peter-capaldi-sweet-illusions-vinyl-lp-cd-lossless-dlHelp us to keep the conversation going by joining our global Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
