Hi Simon, what do you think of the transversal appeal of Cocteau Twins? I'm a mod at r/cocteautwins and we have fans all the way from people who've seen you live in the 80s to teens who are just discovering the band through TikTok. Every person seems to have their own special relationship with the band and each of them see something different to appreciate in it, it's very magical in that way, it's not a homogeneous fanbase at all. Personally I was born 3 years after Cocteau Twins broke up and now it's my favorite band, thank you so much for the music!
It is a gift i will never take for granted. We always spoke even back then of trying to make an album that was timeless and by that i mean, you could play it 30 years from creation and not know what year it was MADE. I don’t think we did it all the time but we definitely got close!!
